When the agent asks first
The agent edits small things directly and reports them. It stops for your approval when:- an edit touches more than 3 clips or more than 20% of the timeline;
- a paid generation (video, image, voice, music, upscale, avatar) has not been approved yet;
- you armed Plan or used
/plan, so the next turn produces a plan instead of edits.
Edit proposal cards
An edit proposal describes a timeline change before it happens. It opens with a Timeline impact headline, for example +3.585s (new total 82.15s), then lists the edits as steps: Edit 1 … Add clip · New track A2, Edit 2 … Shift clips · Interview track V1 (7 clips + 6 dissolves) and so on. When the agent has alternatives, they appear as lettered plans (Plan A, Plan B).
- Range: the part of the timeline it affects.
- Change: what happens to the clips.
- Risk: what could go wrong or need a second look (only when there is one).
- Why: the reasoning behind the edit.
- Apply plan runs it. Press
Enterto apply from the keyboard (“Press Enter to apply”). - Revise sends the proposal back with your notes.
If you or a collaborator edited the timeline after the proposal was made, the card shows “Timeline changed since this plan was made.” Click Re-propose to get a fresh plan against the current timeline, or Apply anyway (press it twice) to force the old one.
Timeline changes and Revert
After an edit is applied, a Timeline changes row summarizes the diff (+N added, −N removed, N moved, N trimmed) and expands to list every change. A stats line such as 59s · 6 tools · +1 clip shows how long the turn took and what it did. Click Revert to roll that edit back in one step.
Permission requests
The agent announces a cost before it spends credits. When a step needs your go-ahead it either asks a question with choice buttons, for example Go ahead with Nano Banana 2 or Use Gemini 3 Pro instead (my default) before using a model that is not your default, or raises a permission request for the skill or tool. That card reads Run skill: video-gen (or Allow tool: …) and shows the price in dollars, the Model and, where relevant, the duration and resolution.- Deny stops that step. The agent continues with what it can do without it.
- Approve once runs it this time only.
- Always runs it now and saves the approval for that skill in this workspace, so future requests of the same kind skip the prompt.
Spending controls
Go to Settings → Agent → Permissions (“Cost-aware auto-approval rules for the agent. Applies to every project in this workspace.”).
- Always ask for anything above (USD): generations at or below this amount run without a prompt; anything above it asks. The default is 2.
- Monthly spend cap (USD, 0 = no cap): paid skills are denied once cumulative monthly spend would exceed the cap.
- Auto-approve (“Never ask for these — run immediately.”): pick skills that never ask.
- Always ask (“Require approval every time.”): pick skills that require approval every time, regardless of the threshold.

Job cards for generations
Each generation runs as a job card in the chat: Image generation, Video generation, Voice generation, Music generation, Video sound FX, Image upscale, Video upscale, Motion graphics or Avatar video. The card header names the job type, the model, the title of the result and how long it took (for example Image generation · … · 38.1s). When it finishes, a preview appears with the note Generation finished — the result was registered in the library, and the result lands in the Media pool tagged Created by AI agent.- Reveal in library jumps to the asset in the Media pool; Download saves it.
- Regenerate re-runs the job with the same parameters (new credits apply).
- Press
Escwhile the run is active to cancel it; that stops the whole agent run, not just this job.

Undo and Version history
- Type
/undoto revert the most recent agent-made edit. The agent shows what was rolled back. - Every agent edit also leaves AI checkpoints in Version history. Open it from the clock icon in the top bar and restore any version; restoring never deletes anything. See Version history and autosave.
⌘Zin the timeline undoes your own manual edits (50 steps).
