What are sessions?

Sessions are containers that help you organize your image generation work in Open Canva. Each session can contain multiple image generations, allowing you to:
  • Group related work: Keep images from the same project together
  • Maintain context: Track prompts and settings used together
  • Organize efficiently: Structure your work with folders and naming
  • Track progress: See your generation history in one place

​
Why use sessions?

​
Organization

Sessions help you stay organized by grouping related generations:
  • Project-based: Create a session for each project
  • Client work: Separate sessions for different clients
  • Experimentation: Dedicated sessions for testing ideas
  • Personal projects: Organize personal creative work

​
Context preservation

Sessions maintain the context of your work:
  • Prompt history: See all prompts used in a session
  • Settings tracking: Remember which settings worked well
  • Reference images: Keep reference images with related generations
  • Iteration tracking: See how your ideas evolved

​
Workflow efficiency

Sessions streamline your workflow:
  • Quick access: Jump between different projects easily
  • Search and filter: Find specific sessions quickly
  • Drag-and-drop: Reorganize folders and sessions directly in the sidebar
  • Reuse context: Restore prompts and settings from past generations without retyping

Session structure

​
Session components

Each session contains:
  • Session name: Customizable identifier
  • Generation history: All images created in the session
  • Prompt history: Record of prompts used
  • Settings: Remembered preferences
  • Metadata: Creation date, last modified, etc.

​
Folder organization

Organize sessions into folders:
  • Project folders: Group related sessions
  • Client folders: Separate client work
  • Category folders: Organize by type or purpose
  • Nested folders: Create sub-folders for detailed organization
