Imaginations uses a two-level structure to organise your generated content: sessions and iterations. Understanding how they relate makes it easier to navigate, revisit, and build on your creative work.
Sessions
An Imagination session is a creative brief — the container for a single creative direction. When you click Imagine and submit a prompt, that creates one session. The session holds:
- Your original prompt
- Any reference files or images you attached
- All the outputs (iterations) that came from that brief
Sessions persist indefinitely. You can return to any session, remix its outputs, and generate more iterations within it.
Think of a session as: a project folder for one brief — "Generate hero images for the Q3 campaign in this style."
Iterations
An Iteration (also called a "Generation") is a single output within a session. Each prompt submission or regeneration creates at least one iteration. If you ask for multiple variants at once, each variant is a separate iteration within the same session.
Think of an iteration as: a single image, video, or audio file — one result from one generation attempt.
Viewing sessions vs. iterations
The Imaginations page has two view modes — switch between them using the toggle at the top:
| View | What you see |
|---|---|
| Sessions | Each session is a card showing the brief and a preview of its iterations. Best for navigating by creative brief. |
| Iterations (Generations) | A flat grid of every iteration across all sessions. Filter by Images, Audios, or Videos. |
Within the Iterations view, switch between Grid and Timeline layouts.
Why this matters
- When you click an iteration to open the lightbox, you can page through other iterations from the same session.
- Remixing always happens at the iteration level — you pick a specific output to remix.
- Batch operations (archive, reassign) work on selected iterations.
- Archiving a session archives the whole brief (and hides all its iterations).
