# Workbench

> View, resize and download the files the AI builds for you

## Overview

When the AI builds something for you -- a one-page visual, a report, a deck, a
spreadsheet -- it appears as a card in the chat and opens in the **Workbench**, a
panel on the right of the chat. The Workbench is where you look at the finished
thing without leaving the conversation or downloading it first.

Click **Open in workbench** on any file card to load it.

## Viewing an artifact

The Workbench has three tabs:

| Tab        | What it shows                                                                          |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Report** | The active artifact, rendered                                                          |
| **Files**  | Every file produced in this conversation. Click any one to switch the Report tab to it |
| **Memory** | What the AI remembered from the conversation                                           |

A page built at a fixed size -- a 1920x1080 slide, for example -- is scaled down
to fit the panel, so you see the whole design rather than a corner of it. The
proportions are preserved, so what you see is what prints. Switch between
**Fit** and **100%** in the panel header: Fit shows the whole page, 100% shows it
at its authored size so you can check small type.

## What each kind of file looks like

| You asked for               | The Workbench shows                                                                                          |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| A page or one-pager (.html) | The page itself, scaled to fit                                                                               |
| A PDF                       | The document in the PDF viewer, page by page                                                                 |
| A spreadsheet (.xlsx, .csv) | The full table, with the header row pinned as you scroll. A workbook with several sheets gets a tab for each |
| A deck (.pptx)              | Every slide's title and text. A deck whose slides are images says so, rather than showing empty cards        |
| A document (.docx)          | The text, laid out for reading                                                                               |
| An image                    | The image at full size                                                                                       |

Spreadsheets and documents show the **whole** file here, not the short preview on
the chat card. If a file is larger than the panel will load, the bottom of the
panel says how many rows or lines it is showing out of the total.

Anything the Workbench cannot display -- a .zip, for instance -- keeps its
download card, rather than opening a panel that has nothing to show.

## Asking for a change

The panel is usually where you notice what needs changing. Click **Refine** in
the panel header and the chat composer is filled in with the file's name, ready
for you to finish the sentence -- "In quarterly-budget.xlsx, please change the
Q3 total to..." You stay looking at the file while you describe the change.

## Making it bigger

Three ways, depending on how much room you want:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Drag the edge">
    Drag the left edge of the panel to any width. Your choice is remembered for
    next time. The chat pane keeps a minimum width so it is never crushed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Maximise">
    Click the **Maximise** button in the panel header to expand it as wide as the
    window allows. Click **Restore** to return to your chosen width.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the file itself">
    Use **Download** to open the artifact in its own application -- full screen,
    at full size, and printable.
  </Step>
</Steps>

On a narrow screen the Workbench opens as a full-screen overlay instead of
competing with the chat for room.

## Downloading and sharing

* **Download** saves the artifact to your computer.
* **Copy link** copies a link to the file for sharing.
* **Close** hides the panel; the file card stays in the chat, so you can reopen
  it at any time.

## Changing what was built

You do not need to start over. Ask for the change in the chat and the AI edits
the existing file rather than rebuilding it:

> "No, make the headline smaller and use a deep teal accent. Keep everything
> else exactly as it is."

Everything you did not mention stays exactly as it was, and the Workbench
refreshes with the updated version.

## Checks the AI runs before handing a file over

Files are opened and inspected automatically before you see them. A page is
rendered and checked for text that is cut off, elements that run off the edge,
and type too small to read. A deck is checked for blank slides and the slide
count you asked for. A spreadsheet is checked for working formulas when you
asked for formulas.

If a check fails, the AI repairs the file and tells you what it changed, rather
than handing you something that does not work.
