nothing

I thought it was the other way around, that it's better to use the stocks to gain more bonds.

It’s both way

When stock is doing well and bond not so well. You sell stock to buy more bond.

When bond is doing well and stock is not, you sell bonds to buy more stock.

This is call allocation/rebalancing

So you are selling at the highs and buying at the low.
