The Assistant tab takes a change in plain words, prepares it as a preview, and waits for you. Nothing reaches your design until you look at the preview and confirm it, and every change it makes is saved as a new version you can go back from.
Open the Assistant tab
The Assistant tab sits between History and Project when you are signed in to your own home. It is on the Plus, Creator, Studio, Business and Project Pass plans; on other plans the tab says that assistant access is not included, with a way to review plans.
The first time, choose Connect assistant. The assistant then reads the design option you have open. If the connection lapses, the same place asks you to reconnect, and Disconnect at the top of the panel ends it.
Ask for a change
Type into Ask for a change and send it. You can ask about the rooms and fixtures in the option, or describe what you want changed: move a wall, resize a room, or try a different layout as a separate option.
While it works, the panel says what it is doing, such as reviewing your request or preparing a preview.
Review the preview
A proposed change arrives as a Change review. It says what will happen before anything does: an update to this option in a new saved version, or a new design option with the open one left as it is.
- Apply change asks you to confirm, then applies it.
- Preview again prepares a fresh preview of the same request.
- Discard drops the preview and changes nothing.
Confirm, then check the result
The confirmation names the option it will change, or the new option it will create, and its button says so: Confirm changes, or Create Design Option. After it runs, the panel shows the result, and the model in the editor updates.
Whether you may apply changes depends on your role in the workspace. Without that permission the assistant still answers questions and prepares previews, and the panel says why it cannot apply them.
Go back to an earlier version
The History list at the bottom of the panel shows each saved version of the option. Restore this version prepares a preview that brings an earlier version back as a new saved version, so nothing in between is lost.
