Record and reset: daily or weekly, and history

Turn one voicer into a series: on a daily or weekly schedule the blend is recorded to history and the voices reset for a fresh start. Past periods stay browsable.

# What record and reset does Creator plan

The Record & reset panel: a “Record a snapshot, then reset” checkbox explaining that on your schedule the current blend is saved to history and the voices reset, with a time picker showing 12am and the timezone America/Los Angeles.
Record & reset saves the current blend to history and resets the voices for a fresh period, on the schedule you choose (shown here: daily at 12am). Nothing is deleted, past periods stay in the report.

Record and reset turns a single voicer into a rhythm. On the schedule you choose, daily or weekly, the current one voice is saved to the voicer’s history and the voices reset for a fresh period. Nothing is deleted: past periods stay in the report and the earlier voices remain, they simply stop feeding the new period’s blend.

Daily is built for a question you ask the same crowd every day, a daily standup mood, a class exit ticket, a “what should we ship today,” where each day deserves its own clean answer.

Weekly suits a slower crowd or a standing question, a team retro, a community suggestion box, a “how can we make this better” that gathers voices all week. Each recorded week reads like a digest: one blended answer for the whole week, week after week.

A reset is a clean slate for your crowd, not just for you. Someone who added a voice in the last period can add a fresh one in the next, so a standing question keeps gathering new answers day after day or week after week instead of holding people to a single response for the life of the voicer.

# Choosing your schedule

The Reset picker sets the cadence and the rollover hour, for example daily at 12am, in your own timezone, which is shown beside the picker (like America/Los Angeles). At that hour the snapshot is taken and the reset happens automatically, whether or not you are online.

Choose weekly and a weekday picker appears, so you decide which day the week rolls over, for example weekly on Monday at 12am. Pick the rollover that lands the fresh blend right before you read it: the morning of your standup, your board meeting, your newsletter.

You do not have to be there for it to fire. The rollover runs on its own and is recorded once per period.

# Browsing history

A “View history” link with an arrow, sitting just above the Voices panel.
Once record and reset is on, a “View history” link appears above the Voices panel. It opens a report with one entry per period: the one voice recorded for that day or week.

Once record and reset is on, a View history link appears above the Voices panel. It opens a report with one entry per period: the one voice that was recorded for that day or week. Daily entries are labelled with their day (“Wed, Jun 24”), weekly entries with their span (“Jun 22 – 28”). A period with no answers still gets a row, so the timeline stays continuous.

The history is a running archive of how your crowd’s answer shifts over time, one recorded voice per period.

# Frequently asked

If someone answered in the last period, can they answer again in the new one?

Yes. With record and reset on, each period is a fresh start: a person who voiced yesterday (or last week) can add a new voice today, whether they answer anonymously or sign in. Within a single period they still get one voice (signed-in answers can be edited if you allow it).

Are voices deleted when the period resets?

No. Nothing is deleted. The period’s one voice is recorded to history, and the voices that fed it remain on the voicer, simply excluded from the next period’s blend, which starts fresh.

Should I pick daily or weekly?

Match the rhythm of the question. Daily fits a crowd you hear from every day: a standup, a class, a shift. Weekly fits a slower or larger crowd, a team retro or a community suggestion box, where a week of voices makes one satisfying digest. You can change the cadence later without losing history.

What timezone does the reset use?

Your timezone, shown beside the schedule picker. The snapshot and reset fire at the hour (and weekday, for weekly) you choose in that zone, automatically.
