Working with panels
Add, select, reorder, duplicate, and delete panels, and fine-tune each one with the panel tools.
On this page
Overview
Each box stacked on the canvas is one image. An image can hold a single panel, or you can split it into several panels. An image with several panels in it is called a page. Credits are charged per image, not per panel.
Every box on the canvas has a vertical strip of tool buttons on its right. Hover over a button to see its name. A page with several panels still has just one strip, so deleting, duplicating, moving, editing, and redrawing apply to the whole page at once.
Add panels
To add one at the end, click Add Page below the last panel.
To insert one between two panels, hover over the gap between them. When a round + button appears, click it.
To add one right below a specific panel, click Add Panel in that panel’s tools.
Select a panel
- Click a drawn panel to select it. It gets a purple outline and a Selected tag, and the chat box switches to asking how you’d like to change that panel.
- To deselect, click the ✕ next to the tag, or click an empty spot on the canvas.
- Empty panels that haven’t been drawn yet can be selected in the Single Panel tab.

Fix one panel with the edit window
Click Edit in the tools of the panel you want to change. The Edit Image window opens.
In Edit Instructions, describe what you want to change. For example: “Make the background a rainy night.”
If it helps, attach reference images, or, if this project has other drawn panels, use Reference another panel to point it at one of them. To get rid of the speech bubbles, check Remove all speech bubbles. This option only appears for panels drawn with dialogue.
Under Generation Model, choose Standard or Pro. Each option shows how many credits it uses. The model selected at first may not be the one this panel was drawn with, so check which one is selected before you continue.
Click Apply Edit to redraw just that panel.
You can also ask Zennyang to do this in the chat. See Edit panels by chatting.
Redraw with the same settings
Click the redraw button in the panel tools. When you hover over it, it says Character looks off?
Choose Pro or Standard. Each shows how many credits it uses.
Click Regenerate to redraw it with the same settings.
Go back to an earlier version
When you redraw or edit a panel, the earlier versions are kept. Select a drawn panel and a small strip of thumbnails, with a clock icon and a count at the top, appears to its left. The version in use has a purple border and a ✓. Hover over a thumbnail to see it larger; if it’s the version in use, it’s also marked Current. Click any other version to switch to it. Going back doesn’t cost any credits.
Delete a panel
Click Delete panel in the tools of the panel you want to delete.
In the Delete this panel? window, click Delete.
