Create a copy of the Generative Object |
The copy inherits all the linked variations. If you run a generative AI feature on the copy, the new variations are linked only to that copy. |
|
Delete one instance of a linked variation (if multiple copies of a Generative Object exist) |
The deletion of one instance of a linked variation won't affect the other instances. |
|
Ungroup a Generative Object |
The Generative Object loses all its linked variations. |
|
Re-run Text to Vector Graphic without ungrouping the Generative Object |
The new Generative Object replaces the old one but inherits all the previous linked variations. |

|
Re-run Generative Shape Fill after ungrouping the Generative Object |
The new Generative Object doesn't replace the old one, as it's generated on top of the old one, and it doesn't inherit the previous linked variations. Learn about other scenarios with re-running Generative Shape Fill. |
