Opening an artifact shows its current live content: a running app or a document in the editor. If a human edits a document, they must select Save because auto-save is not live.
What controls are in the top bar?
| Control | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Breadcrumb | Returns to Artifacts and identifies the artifact. |
| Timestamp chip | Shows who last changed it and when. |
| Hide History / Show History | Toggles the identity and History panel, open by default. |
| In this file | Shows people and agents with access as avatars. |
| ⋯ | Offers Rename, Duplicate, Edit with AI, and Delete file. |
| Export | Provides available downloads and lists unfinished items. |
| Share | Provides the artifact link, team and agent invitations, and Manage access. |
| Avatar | Provides feedback, dark mode, and sign out. |
Which export options are available?
- Documents: Export as Markdown, Export as PDF, and Save as PNG.
- Apps: Export code (.zip) and Save as PNG. The zip contains source code and is not offered for documents.
- Both menus list Copy embed snippet and Copy for agent, but neither works yet.
What information does the History panel contain?
The right panel has:
- Identity: type chip, name, creation-location line, owner, creation date, and last-updated date.
- History: changes newest first, with author, change kind such as Manual Edit, message, and relative time. Agent and human changes share one list under their respective names.
Selecting a History entry previews that version and exposes Restore, Duplicate, and Back to current. See Version history.
Who can open a shared link?
A team member opening the artifact link sees the current live artifact. The link is restricted to team members. An outsider sees an access wall and can request access. See Share an artifact and Request access.
Troubleshooting
- Blank app: it probably lacks
index.html. See Artifact types. - Someone changed it while open: reload to fetch the current version; History records the update.
- Inspect access: use In this file for avatars or Share → Manage access for full roles and capabilities.
- Show History is missing: the panel is already open, so the same button reads Hide History.
