After creating a visual support, you have powerful editing tools to refine and personalize it further. All editing features are accessed by clicking the pencil icon on any creation.
For stories and other text-based supports, you can modify the wording to fit your child's specific needs.
Use the quick prompt buttons to:
Type your own instructions to make specific changes:
Ella will update the text across all pages of your story based on your instructions. You can undo and redo that change using the undo/redo controls. Your full edit history is available for the duration of your session.
You can also edit single pages instead of the entire story. Just specify which page or what content you want to change, and Ella will update only that section.
Ella provides four tools for modifying images in your visual supports.
Use Tweak to modify a specific part of an existing image while keeping everything else the same.
Example: Replace a pillow with a stuffed giraffe toy in a bedtime routine visual.
Use Erase to remove elements from the background or clean up busy images.
Example: Remove a decorative lamp from the background to reduce visual clutter.
Use Reimagine to completely recreate an image with new content while maintaining the art style.
Example: Change a school bus image to show a child waiting on a bench for parent pickup.
Tip: You can also edit the title text in the top corner to match your updated image.
Use Upload to add your own photos to visual supports.
When to use:
How to use:
Undoing an upload: If you need to restore the original image, go to the Gallery and select the previous version.
Best for: Maximum personalization and relevance to your child's actual environment.
Change the visual style of all images in a creation without recreating the entire support.
How it works: If you initially created a story in Clay style but want to try Anime, use Restyle to convert all images to the new style while keeping the same content.
Replace the character in an existing creation with a different character while keeping all other content the same.
How it works: All images are regenerated with the new character, but the story, steps, and structure remain identical.
The Gallery stores all previously generated images from your creations. You can access and reuse them in new supports.
How it works: When editing a creation, open the Gallery to browse all previously generated images. Select any image to use it in your current support.
Example: You created a schedule with an image of getting dressed. Later, you want to use that same "getting dressed" image in a picture card set. Pull it from the Gallery instead of generating a new one.
You can add new pages to an existing creation using the "Add Topics" feature. This is useful when a routine has grown, a situation has changed, or you simply want to cover more ground. Each additional image beyond 10 pages costs one extra image credit.
Pages in a creation can be reordered by dragging them into the desired sequence. This is helpful for adjusting the flow of a story or schedule after creation.
