⊕ Common questions

Creative production FAQ.

Where should source assets live?

Import them into PIM so generation and review use durable approved references.

Should image models invent product interfaces?

No. Use real screenshots as references when UI accuracy matters.

How many variants should a team create?

Create only the variants required by a defined audience, message, format, or test.

How are creative edits tracked?

Change the brief or program, create a new version, and preserve the selected prior output.
