Firefly’s November update, on a page Adobe updated on November 10, 2026, includes Plan mode for the beta AI Assistant. For a team preparing advertising images, it provides a chance to inspect the proposed workflow before execution.
How approval works
The modes guide says Auto runs without approval; Plan lets you review, revise and approve steps first. Select Auto in the prompt field, then Plan under Agentic settings. These mode and model choices last for the session. Preferences can persist model choices; the guide does not describe persistent Plan selection.
Access and credits
The FAQ lists paid Creative Cloud subscriptions and some free adult accounts. Exceptions include some legacy enterprise plans and K–12; the feature is unavailable in Adobe desktop and mobile apps. It is not yet optimized for enterprise All Apps or higher education. Check access on the web.
Most AI creative actions consume credits, with usage varying by action and visible at the credits icon after completion. Introductory rates may change. Users must assess a partner model’s suitability for their project.
Before producing a batch
Our editorial recommendation:
- Keep separate originals and start with one test asset. Check the mode again in a new session.
- Before approval, check variant count, dimensions, source images and permitted changes. For example, an advert for a cup may need a different background, while its handle shape and included accessories must remain accurate.
- Compare the output with the original and approved copy. Approving a plan does not replace checking the finished advert.
- Record credits spent, including unsuccessful attempts. Estimate the batch budget after the test; do not treat Plan mode itself as a monetary spending limit.
