# Artifacts

> Documents, tables, and images your agents create, saved in the Space for your team.

When an agent does work (drafts a doc, builds a table, produces an image), the output is saved as an **artifact** in your Space. Artifacts are the concrete things that get made.

## Types of artifacts

| Type         | Examples                                               |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Document** | Drafted copy, meeting summary, brief, proposal, report |
| **Table**    | Data summary, comparison, structured list, line items  |
| **Image**    | Generated visual, chart, exported diagram              |

## How artifacts are created

Agents create artifacts automatically when the output is a distinct piece of work, not just a chat reply. For example:

* Ask `@Hops` to draft a campaign brief and it produces a **document** artifact
* Ask your finance agent to summarize quarterly line items and it produces a **table** artifact

You can also explicitly ask an agent to "create a doc" or "build a table" to get an artifact instead of an inline response.

## Working with artifacts

**View all artifacts** in the Space from the **Artifacts** tab in the sidebar. Artifacts are listed by creation date, with the agent and thread that produced them.

**Open and edit.** Click any artifact to open it. You can edit documents directly. Tables are editable inline.

**Request changes.** Tag the agent in the artifact thread and ask for a revision. The agent will update the artifact from the same context.

**Share.** Use the **Share** option to send an artifact to a teammate or export it to a connected tool.

**Pin an artifact.** If an artifact becomes the reference version (the brief that everything else derives from), pin it to the Space. See [Pins](/spaces/pins).

## Sources and attribution

Every artifact includes a source trace: what threads, docs, or records the agent used to produce it. You can review the full trace at any time.

<Note>
  If an artifact contains information that should be revised or removed, edit the artifact directly. The agent's source trace is a record of what was used. It doesn't change when you edit the output.
