Use artifacts and office documents

Artifacts keep useful outputs available beyond the message that produced them. Use the library to find, group, inspect, and iterate on those outputs.

Find and organize an artifact

Open Artifacts, search for the output, and open its detail view. Group it into a collection where useful. Check the content and the referenced files before sharing it. A preview is not proof that every linked asset is self-contained.

Iterate on the result

Use the artifact iteration surface to request a specific revision. Name what should change and what should stay. Review the new output and version before adopting it.

Generated office files

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint outputs can be downloaded. Settings → Documents controls whether supported editing is enabled. The structural Word editor recreates a document from the structure it can parse; unsupported comments, footnotes, embedded objects, and exact styling may not survive a save.

Read the unsupported-content notice before the first edit and again in the save confirmation. The starting version remains available through Details → Versions. Keep editing disabled when preserving the original structure matters more than changing it in Gideon.

Use artifacts elsewhere

You can save a file as an artifact, index artifacts for Knowledge search, or pin an eligible saved artifact as a dashboard tile. Each has separate setup. See widgets and Home.

Review before delivery

Open the final file and check links, layout, source claims, and export behavior. Treat a warning about a missing copied file as a real dependency on the original workspace.
