Availability: coming soon and not reliable today. New → Import from ZIP and New → Upload Folder appear in the UI but do not function properly.
What is the reliable current procedure?
Give the folder or zip to a connected AI and state the intended artifact type, for example:
Take this project folder and put it on AgentGrid.io as an app.
or:
Push this zip to AgentGrid.io as a doc.
The agent creates one artifact directly in the human's team and returns its link.
What will in-app ZIP import do when available?
Import from ZIP is intended for projects with multiple files, including a built page, React project, or markdown folder with images. The planned human UI path is New → Import from ZIP, then choose the .zip.
The source states these planned classification rules:
- A zip containing
index.htmlbecomes an app. .mdfiles withoutindex.htmlbecome a document.
Do not present this UI route as reliable until it ships.
What should the archive contain?
Include source and assets only. Exclude node_modules, build output, and anything normally listed in .gitignore.
Sync and update constraints
Import does not create a synchronized copy of a local folder. Later changes must be made on the artifact itself through the document editor or a connected AI. Re-importing creates a second artifact instead of updating the original.
Failure and recovery
- Blank imported app: it lacks
index.html, or markdown files were incorrectly created as an app. See Artifact types. - React project: currently ask a connected AI to push it and explicitly identify it as a React app.
- Later update: edit a document in place or ask the AI to modify the same artifact.
