Save and export your work
Save chat answers as notes, copy to clipboard, download outputs, or convert to a different format.
Artifacts are session-scoped: when the chat ends, they're gone unless you save them.
The answer toolbar
Every Focus or Ask docAnalyzer answer has a small toolbar:
- Save as note: creates a persistent note in your workspace from the answer text, citations and all. The note is editable; open Co-work on it to refine.
- Copy: puts the answer's markdown on your clipboard (with citation tokens included).
- Download: saves the answer's artifacts (the inline chips) to your machine.
- Like / dislike: optional feedback; doesn't affect anything you can see but trains future runs.
The answer toolbar doesn't capture the artifacts produced during the turn; those are saved separately from their inline chips. Save as note captures the answer text.
Download individual outputs
Each artifact chip in a chat has a download button. Click it to save the file locally. Filenames are descriptive when the chat names them, or follow the explicit filename when one was set.
For multiple artifacts, ask the chat to bundle them: "bundle the spreadsheet and the chart into a ZIP" produces a single file you can download instead of clicking each chip.
Convert before downloading
If the format you have isn't the format you want, convert mid-session:
| You have | You want | Ask |
|---|---|---|
| Spreadsheet (XLSX) | CSV | "Convert the spreadsheet to CSV" |
| Markdown | "Convert the markdown to PDF" | |
| HTML | DOCX | "Convert the HTML to DOCX" |
| DOCX | "Convert the DOCX to PDF" | |
| Chart (SVG) | PNG | Embed in a PDF or HTML wrapper |
See What you can generate for the full conversion matrix.
Save chat answers as notes
The pattern that pays off most over time:
-
1
Run a Focus that produces a useful answer.
-
2
Click Save as note in the answer toolbar.
-
3
The answer becomes a note in your workspace, citations intact.
-
4
Open Co-work on the note if you want to refine the wording.
-
5
Use the note as a source in future Focus chats: your distilled understanding becomes durable, reusable context.
Notes carry their citations across edits. A future Focus that references the note can still trace citations back to the original sources.
Export a whole chat
For sharing a chat thread with someone outside your workspace, see Share a chat link; it generates a public URL that visitors can read without signing up.
Turn a workflow result into a download
A workflow run hands you a result in one fixed shape. To get that result as a downloadable file in another shape, click the workflow chip in your chat. The result opens in the side panel, and the chat box below stays available, so you can ask the chat to produce it:
- "Give me this as a spreadsheet." produces an XLSX over the workflow's rows.
- "Drop the third column and group by department." restructures it first.
- "Bundle the per-source summaries into a single PDF." collapses a per-source result into one document.
- "Make a chart of this." pivots to a different format entirely.
The chat already knows the run and pulls its result in for you, so there's no copying and no re-running. Anything in the conversion table above applies, and so does the rest of the What you can generate catalogue.
If one of the workflow's per-source files is already in the format you want, click its chip in the panel to download it directly. The chat is only needed when the format you have isn't the format you want.
What's next
- Capture context with notes: the durable surface.
- Reuse outputs across turns: combine before you export.
- Share a chat link: when "save" means "show someone".
