Workflow illustration.

## Search for a direction

Open Inspiration from your canvas or Template Studio. Search Meta ads by country and keyword, or look for Google images.

-   Meta ads and Google images tabs
-   Project-aware query suggestions and recent searches

## Explore the reference

Open a result to inspect its larger preview and source. Keep the reference’s origin with it when you add it to chat.

-   Larger previews and source links
-   Reference attachments with attribution

## Keep the useful finds

Save references for the current brand or in your account-wide library. Filter saved items when you return to the idea.

-   This project and Global library scopes
-   Saved media and source information

## Use the reference in the work

Choose Design similar or attach the reference and describe your own direction. Suggested actions can help draft a campaign request.

## Good to know.

Answers about design inspiration before you start.

### Does saving inspiration make it a brand asset?

No. Inspiration remains reference material, separate from approved brand assets and commercial facts.

### Does finding an image give me permission to use it?

No. Check the source and obtain the rights needed for your use. Search results are references, not a license.

### Can I reuse a reference across projects?

Yes. Global saves are available across the projects in your own account. Project saves remain scoped to that project.

### Does Add to chat send a message?

No. It queues the reference so you can add instructions and send it yourself. Design similar is a separate direct action.
