Use Adobe Comp CC on your iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Android device, or Chromebook to quickly design comps for your print, mobile, or web projects. Add assets (images, color, shapes, and text) from your Creative Cloud Libraries, or fonts from Typekit, to quickly create compelling layouts. Comp is also compatible with photo-editing apps including Photoshop Mix and Photoshop Fix so you can move and edit your images between apps as part of a fluid end-to-end workflow. Then, with one tap of the finger, send your design to Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, Adobe Muse CC, or InDesign CC for editing and final production.

Graphics/images placed from your Libraries and CC files now retain their links when you send to desktop apps.

This means that placed graphics now appear as linked files in Illustrator, Muse, and InDesign, and as linked SmartObjects in Photoshop.

For example, when an asset from a CC Library is placed into Comp, Comp retains the link and passes that link along to your desktop when you select 'Send to'.

If that library asset is updated, the changes to the linked asset will show in your desktop app.
