It can also resize and merge designs, export to formats such as PDF, PNG, PPTX and MP4, add comments and work with brand kits and Brand Templates on eligible plans.

Prompts to try
Once it is connected, ask in plain words. Claude decides when to use the server and asks before it changes anything important.
