Inserting into other surfaces
Send a finished image straight from the canvas into a note, wiki page, design, or assistant thread.
Once you've landed on a generation you like, you usually want to use it somewhere. The Insert into… action on the canvas top bar (the paper-plane icon) hands the image off to another part of Opisense without asking you to download and re-upload.
Click Insert into… to open a picker. The button is disabled until the canvas has at least one generation.
Where you can insert
Notes
Pick a note from Your Content. You're routed to the note, and the image is inserted into the editor at the top. Save is automatic — refreshing the page keeps the image in place.
Wiki
Pick a wiki page. Same flow as Notes — you land on the page with the image inserted into the rich-text editor.
Designs
Pick a design from Designer. Instead of inserting into the canvas inline, the image is added to the design's brand reference assets, where the designer agent can pick it up next time it generates output. A toast confirms "Added to brand assets".
Assistant
Pick Open in new assistant thread. You're routed to /assistant?thread=… and the image is staged as a pending attachment in the composer. Add a prompt ("What's wrong with this composition?", "Write three caption options for this image") and send.
Copy public link
Pick Copy public link. Image Studio mints a signed URL that's valid for one hour and copies it to your clipboard. Anyone with the link can view the image during that window — no Opisense account needed. Useful for quick share-outs to people outside your workspace.
Public links expire automatically. If you need to share long-term, insert into a wiki page or note instead and share that document the normal way.
Permission gating
Some actions check permissions on the canvas:
- Insert, Download, and Share work for view-only collaborators
- Rename, Duplicate, and Delete require edit access
If you don't have permission for an action, you'll see an error toast explaining what went wrong.
How it works under the hood
When you pick a destination, Opisense generates a fresh signed URL for the current generation and hands it to the destination surface via a ?insertImage= parameter. The destination consumes the parameter on mount, inserts the image once, and clears the parameter from the URL — refreshing the page won't insert it a second time.
You don't need to think about any of this; it just means the round-trip is fast and durable. If something goes wrong (network blip, expired link), the destination shows an error toast and you can retry.
