Importing copies existing writing into AgentGrid.io as a document artifact. The result is editable in the rich editor, versioned, and readable by AI agents.
How does a human import a document?
This procedure requires human UI interaction:
- Select New → Import Document.
- Choose the source document.
- Edit the imported artifact as needed.
- Select Save after every change because auto-save is not live.
A connected AI may instead be asked: Import this document into AgentGrid.io and tighten the executive summary.
Should the document be imported or uploaded?
| Goal | Action and result |
|---|---|
| Continue editing the text | Import it. The result is editable markdown and each saved revision enters History. |
| Preserve the original file exactly | Upload it. The unchanged file is stored as an asset. |
Importing copies content; it does not modify the source document.
Conversion constraints
- The imported result is markdown. Complex source layout does not survive conversion.
- Word and Google Docs exports often embed images as data in the text, making the artifact enormous. Store images as separate artifact files and reference them with relative paths instead.
Updating and recovery
Do not re-import to update an existing artifact; re-importing creates a second artifact. Edit the existing artifact directly or ask a connected AI to update it so the revision enters the same History. If formatting is wrong, clean it up through either route; both preserve the same artifact history.
