Type @ in the prompt box or a Preview Agent message to open the same reference menu in both places.

​
What you can reference

  • Recently used: your last few references, for quick reuse.
  • Characters, Locations, Props: your library by category, each showing its item count. Type after @ to search by name, or click a category to browse directly. An item with multiple variations or images shows a count; click through to pick one instead of the default. Only files saved to your project library show up here: save a Character, Location, or Prop first, then reference it by name.
  • Gen History: every file generated in this story. Search by description (subject, color, style), not just exact name.
  • Uploads: project files outside any library category.
  • Scripts: reference a script, or drill into Show scenes to reference one scene of it, useful for pointing the agent at exactly the part you’re working on.
Only saved library items, uploads, and finished generations can be referenced this way, not items still generating or unsaved on the canvas.
On models with tight reference limits, a Character with several images uses one slot per image: a four-image Character fills four reference slots, not one.

​
After you pick

The reference appears as a chip in your text. Right-click it to Locate on canvas (when it’s placed there), Replace with something else, or Remove.
The prompt box also has Click to pick, to reference directly from the canvas instead of the menu. Hold Shift while picking to grab several files in one pass. It enforces each model’s reference limit too. Preview Agent’s chat has a simpler + attach button (Click to pick, Uploads, Characters, Locations, Props, Scripts, Upload) alongside the same @ menu.

​
Keyboard shortcuts

Arrow keys move through the list, → drills into a category or variation, ← backs out, Enter picks, and Escape closes the menu. Press Escape twice with an active search or filter.
Recently used references are shared across the prompt box, Preview Agent, and the whole project: pick something once to reuse it anywhere.
