File artifacts are deliverables saved with a Task, such as PDFs, Word documents, images, text files, and other outputs. They appear in Artifacts, alongside documents, HTML pages, and canvases.

​
Create and Open a File

Ask an agent to save a deliverable in the Task’s artifacts folder. A standalone file there becomes a file artifact. For example:
Create a PDF summary and save it as a Task artifact so everyone can download it.
Click the file in Artifacts to open it. PDFs, Word documents, images, and supported text files have in-app previews. Other formats offer a download so you can open them in a suitable app. Large text previews may be shortened; download the file for the complete content. A file inside an HTML or canvas artifact’s supporting files belongs to that artifact. Ask the agent to save a deliverable as a separate file artifact if you want it to have its own row.

​
Share Context and Request Changes

Type @ in an agent message, choose Artifacts, and select the file. Ask the agent to inspect it, revise it, or create another format. A preview is not a document editor: use an agent to update the original deliverable. Task artifacts are separate from files in your repository. Sharing a Task lets collaborators access its published artifacts; it does not give them access to browse your workspace. See File Tree.

Download

Use Download in the open file’s toolbar to save the original file to your device. Downloading a file preserves its format; it does not convert it to Markdown or PDF.
