# Designer overview

Learn what Designer is for and when to use it.

**Designer** is a freeform visual workspace for arranging assets, exploring concepts, and using AI-assisted tools directly on a canvas.

### When to use Designer

Use Designer for:

* Mood boards and visual concepts
* Layout exploration
* Hands-on image editing
* Working with catalog products and generated assets
* AI-assisted generation and editing
* Creating or referencing Style Kits while you work
* Organizing ideas with notes and sections

For structured lifestyle generation across groups of products, use **Scene Generator**.

For structured product-image sets, use **Product Studio**.

### AI chat

Designer includes an AI assistant that can work with canvas context, images, products, and supported actions.

Use chat when you want to describe a change in natural language, generate or edit imagery, find products, or work with the current board without manually performing every step.

### Real-time and persistent board updates

Designer persists board changes, including undo and redo transitions. Open sessions also synchronize board changes more reliably across connected clients.

### Sharing

Projects can support public read-only sharing when sharing is enabled for the project.
