# Template Regeneration

> A brief description, use-case, and usage instructions of the Template Regeneration feature

Chkk's **Template Regeneration** feature lets you quickly refresh an Upgrade Template that has grown stale or needs to reflect new enterprise-specific feedback.
If an existing template sits unused for too long—perhaps due to shifting priorities or postponed upgrades—Chkk
can generate a revised version aligned with the **constantly evolving Cloud Native ecosystem**.
Upon requesting regeneration, Chkk automatically re-analyzes the previous recommendations and publishes an updated
generation of the same template, ensuring you always benefit from the latest guidance.

Regeneration also comes into play when you override recommended versions for certain Cloud Native Projects, application services, and operators
based on internal policies. For example, if your organization requires upgrading all Cloud Native Projects, application services, and operators
to the latest release, you can provide that feedback to Chkk, then use **Template Regeneration** to produce a fresh set of recommendations
that blends your policies with Chkk's research. This way, your upgrade strategy remains consistent with your organization's rules while
still incorporating Chkk's continually refreshed insights.

<Note>
  The **Template Regeneration** option only appears after a user has used the [**Comments**](/features/add-comments) feature to leave a Comment for Chkk.
