You can now use the IP catalog compilation flow to create a complete design. When you double-click the System Generator token in IP catalog flow and click the Settings button, the Use Plug-in project directory must point to the Vivado® IP integrator project from which the design was imported (see below). When you click the Generate button, a new Vivado project based on the original Vivado platform framework/system plus the accelerator IP created in System Generator, along with a software driver, will be created. This project will be located in an ip_catalog directory under the System Generator token's Target directory, and can also be placed into a common IP repository.

You can open this new project in Vivado to complete the implementation of your design, as in the sample below. Note the block with the System Generator symbol, which indicates a block developed in the System Generator.
