# Sessions

Your prompts, images, videos, and next iteration—in one workspace.

### List

![Full dark-mode Sessions interface with four completed Nano Banana 2 images, the project and session sidebar, List and Canvas controls, and the Prompt Bar.](https://pub-60e30bed45514f03933d3900731bea31.r2.dev/public-app-sessions/v1/documentation/sessions-full-workspace-9d72e40821e0db35.webp)

See prompts and their results together. Scroll through earlier runs, or choose Hide Prompts to give the images more room.

### Canvas

![Actual dark-mode Sessions Canvas at 100 percent zoom, with five result thumbnails, the terracotta cup edit open in Original mode, and the Prompt Bar below.](https://pub-60e30bed45514f03933d3900731bea31.r2.dev/public-app-sessions/v1/documentation/sessions-canvas-workspace-ab879fcd3f53377c.webp)

Inspect one result at a time. Choose another thumbnail, switch between Preview and Original, or use the desktop zoom controls.

## Start with an idea

Open **Image** or **Video** from Home. Write a prompt, choose one model, set the output, and generate. Your results stay together in a session.

[Create an image](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/sessions/create-image)Your first prompt and result.
[Create a video](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/sessions/video)Describe a scene and its movement.

## Find your way around

A project can contain multiple sessions. Use the **bottom-left project switcher** to create or switch projects, then choose a saved session from the sidebar. [Projects & sessions →](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/sessions/projects)

* **Sidebar:** switch surfaces, projects, or earlier sessions.
* **Results:** inspect a generation, download it, reuse its input, or attach it to the next run.
* **Prompt Bar:** write the next instruction and choose its references, model, and settings.
* **List / Canvas:** review the history or focus on one result. These are two views of the same session, not separate copies.

Sessions' Canvas is a result viewer. To connect generation steps into a workflow, use [Flow](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/flow/overview).

## Inspect, save, or use it again

In **List**, choose the **Expand** icon on an image or video to open the original. Close it to return to your results.

![A completed cup image with its Expand control and action row, including Reuse Input, Add as Reference, and Download.](https://pub-60e30bed45514f03933d3900731bea31.r2.dev/public-app-sessions/v1/documentation/sessions-reuse-action-0da5519dc6c30839.webp)

The action row stays with each result. Download is the downward arrow on the right; the link icon attaches this result as a reference.

* **Download** saves the result's original file, not a screenshot of its preview. To share outside Creativly, send the downloaded file.
* **Add as Reference** puts the finished result into your next prompt.
* **Reuse Input** brings back its prompt and settings. [See the difference →](https://www.creativly.ai/docs/sessions/reuse-input)

On a phone, **List / Canvas** appears as two icons above your results. Canvas thumbnails run across the top instead of down the side.
