Missing the option to add/use an element.

I spend a lot of time (and credits) creating a character as an element. I used it to generate several images. Now I cannot find how to add/reference the element to my generations.

    Creating an element was no problem. However, there is no place to insert the element in the image generation section. I had to go to my browser history and find where I used it last week. It seems like there are two different user interfaces, where you can use elements in one, and not in the other. If I go to the Firefly homepage and go to image generation, there is no place to enter an element on that screen. 

    For example I can add elements here: https://firefly.adobe.com/studio
    But not here: https://firefly.adobe.com/generate/image

    Why are there two places to generate images? Why are elements only available in one of them? That is my question and frustration.

    Thanks for clarifying that — that distinction is really useful: Elements showing in Studio (firefly.adobe.com/studio) but not on firefly.adobe.com/generate/image. I can't confirm why both entry points exist, but for element work the practical workaround for now is to stay in Studio, where the generation bar's Image / Video > Elements picker is available. Thanks for flagging the gap so clearly — it does look like an inconsistency worth keeping open as a bug report.

    Hey ​@logan_0845 
    Could you have a look at this video on how to create Character elements?

    Hi! You can reuse a saved element from the generation bar: select Image / Video > Elements > your element name, then select Create to add it to your prompt. The Manage button there is where you can edit or delete an element. Full steps here: https://helpx.adobe.com/firefly/web/unified-generation-and-editing-experience/create-an-element.html
