Generation can finish in the background; Creative History is the reliable place to find the output.

Find the right result

Use the Image Ads and Copywriter tabs, filters, sorting, and display controls. Open a result to inspect its source context, variants, and available actions. Full-screen ad preview modals and Creative History card menus do not include Save to Media Library; use a generation result control where that action is available.

Follow active generation while you navigate

The floating generation tracker keeps active work visible without requiring you to stay on the generation page. Its list is ordered with the most recently started generation at the top.

  • Leaving the current dashboard page automatically collapses every expanded generation card into its compact chip; the work continues in the background.
  • An animated spinner marks a job that is still working in both the expanded card and its compact chip. The compact progress badge continues to show the completed count, such as 0/3. Dragging a compact chip preserves its current thumbnail and status instead of replacing the chip with a full loading spinner.
  • Select a compact chip to expand its details again. Older work that does not fit is summarized below the newest visible jobs.

Keep the useful work

Favorite strong creative, mark unhelpful outputs when available, save reusable images to Media Library from generation result controls where that action is shown, and move research-style references to Saved Ads boards. Full-screen ad preview modals do not include Save to Media Library. On a generated ad card, the three-dot action changes from Save ad to Remove from Saved Ads after saving; choosing it again removes the ad and returns the action to Save ad. Compact card previews collapse blank paragraph separators and cleanly clip after two lines before Read more, without inserting ellipsis text or exposing part of a third line.
