Mentioning Canvas Media

Type @ in any prompt input to inject a canvas element as context. The app shows a picker; pick an image, video, note, or group and it becomes part of the request.

Where it works

  • Generate Image prompt
  • Generate Video prompt
  • Agent Dock chat

How it works

  1. Type @ anywhere in the textbox.
  2. A floating picker shows the currently selected elements first, then every element on the board.
  3. Click the element you want, or type to filter by name.
  4. The element appears as a chip in the prompt (for example @hero-render.png). Multiple mentions are stacked.

When you submit, the app:

  • For images and videos — attaches them as reference media to the generation request.
  • For notes — pastes the note’s text content into the prompt.
  • For frames or groups — attaches every child element.

Why use it

  • No re-upload — references are already on the board.
  • Iterate fast — generate, mention the result, iterate without dragging.
  • Combine sources — mention a photo and a note containing brand colours in the same prompt.

Mention vs reference slot

The Generate Image panel has a dedicated Input Image slot. For image-to-image with a single reference, that slot is the simpler path. Use @-mentions when:

  • You want multiple references.
  • You also want to inject a note’s text.
  • You are working in the agent dock where there is no separate slot.

Limits

  • The picker shows the active board only.
  • Very large videos (multi-GB) may take a few seconds to read for the agent context.
  • A maximum of about 10 mentioned items per prompt — beyond that, the LLM’s context window starts to crowd out the prompt itself.
