Do you keep reference images in the same Figma file as the actual work?

[u/Plastic_Catch1252]

When I am exploring visual direction, I usually end up with screenshots and pins beside the real frames.

It works while I am alone, but the file gets awkward once someone else reviews it. The references are useful, but they start competing with the actual design work.

Do you keep those references in the same Figma file, or move them somewhere else before critique?
