Artifacts

An artifact is something a Coworker creates during a conversation. Every artifact has a type:

• Published page: a report, a small tool or a dashboard the Coworker publishes. It is a finished piece for you to view. Each one has a title and a version number. When the Coworker publishes an updated version of a page it already published, the version number goes up and the newest version is the one shown.
• Document: a page you and the Coworker write and edit together, side by side. Document artifacts are labelled Document in the list. See Document artifacts.

All artifacts appear together in the Artifacts section of the context pane. To see everything you created across conversations, and documents shared with you, open the Artifacts page from the menu under your name.

Open an artifact#

1. Open the context pane.
2. In the Artifacts section, select the artifact's title. The pane shows it. For a published page, the title and version, for example v2, appear above it.
3. Select Back to return to the pane's sections.

A new artifact opens in the pane by itself the moment the Coworker creates it. If the conversation has more than one artifact, a row of buttons above the open artifact lets you switch between them.

What an artifact can do#

A published page is a live page, not a static picture. It can be interactive: charts that draw themselves, tables you sort or filter, calculators, tabs and other controls that respond when you use them. Charts and other interactive content come to life as soon as the artifact opens.

A published page can use common open-source libraries, such as a charting library, loaded from cdnjs and jsDelivr. It can also use web fonts from Google Fonts.

A published page runs in an isolated frame. It cannot read your session or other pages in Workforce Intelligence. It has no network access, so it cannot send or fetch data on its own, and it cannot store anything in your browser. It shows what the Coworker built into it and nothing else.

Open an artifact full screen#

Select Full screen ⤢ above the artifact. A document opens on its own editing page. A published page fills the page, with a header that shows:

• Back to chat, which returns you to the conversation it was published in
• the artifact's title and version

If a published page cannot be opened, the page says "This artifact isn't available." and offers Back to chat.

Who can open an artifact#

Artifacts belong to your company. You must be signed in, and an artifact can be opened only by people in the same company as the Coworker that published it. Anyone in your company who is signed in and has a published page's address can open it full screen. A document is opened by its owner and by the people, teams or link access the owner has shared it with; see Document artifacts. The list of artifacts in the context pane appears only in conversations you own.

An artifact a workflow run produced is the exception to the company-wide rule: only the people who can open that run can open it. See Reviewing a run.

Removed artifacts#

When a conversation's content is removed under the retention policy, its artifacts are removed with it. In the context pane an artifact shows Removed under the retention policy. Opening one full screen shows "This artifact was removed under the retention policy." with Back to chat. Removed content cannot be restored.
