When to use

Combo is an ideation feature that helps teams explore and iterate on visual concepts by combining style, layout, texture, and product references directly within a single scene. Instead of relying on long text prompts, you place notes and reference images right on the canvas so intent is clear and tied to specific areas, making it easier to develop, discuss, and refine key visuals and campaign ideas together.
