## How to use

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Select "Replicate"

In the left task menu, select <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Replicate**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd>.

This opens the Replicate workspace for your current scene.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Upload a Product Image

Upload the image that will be replicated.&#x20;

You may upload an image by:

* Selecting <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Upload an image**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> inside the scene
* Dragging and dropping an image from a folder on your computer
* Dragging and dropping an image from the Library panel at the bottom-left of the screen

Once uploaded, the product will appear in the scene.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Define the Product Replacement Area

You can define one product to be replaced in two ways:

**Rectangle selection**

1. Click and drag to draw a rectangle around the product you want to replace
2. This creates a bounding box that tells which area to target

**Point placement**

Click once to place the replace sticker directly on the product.&#x20;

Point placement is faster but may yield slightly different results.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select Replacement Products

1. After placing your selection, click on the replicate sticker to open the product replacement modal.
2. The modal shows three tabs for selecting replacement products:
   1. <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Playground**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Shows all scenes currently in your Playground. Reuse products you've already generated.
   2. <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Product assets**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Access your organized product library. Browse by brand, then select related products.
   3. <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Upload**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Access your playgrounds uploads or upload another image from your computer.&#x20;
3. Select up to 8 replacement products across any combination of tabs.\
   Selected products show checkmarks, and tab headers display selection counts.
4. When finished, select <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Apply**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> to confirm your selection.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Configure Scene Behavior Settings (optional)

In the right-side Replicate settings panel, control how the task will handle global elements:

* **Background**
  * <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Exact**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Locks background pixel-perfectly across all variations
  * <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Adapt**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Allows subtle variation to prevent copy-paste effect
* **Light**
  * <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Exact**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Locks lighting across all variations
  * <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Adapt**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Allows lighting to adjust subtly per product
* **Light**
  * <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Exact**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Locks color grading exactly
  * <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Adapt**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd> Allows color treatment to shift slightly

{% hint style="info" %}
Text and shape layers are always preserved and remain editable after generation, regardless of scene behavior settings.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Generate

After confirming all settings, select <kbd><mark style="color:$primary;">**Generate**<mark style="color:$primary;"></kbd>.

Preview generation takes longer than other tasks.

Results appear in your Playground once complete.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Only one Replicate generation can run at a time.**
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
