# Artifacts overview

> Docs, sheets, and files your team and agents create together — shared context, in one place.

Artifacts are the concrete things your team and agents create in a Space: **Docs**, **Sheets**, and **Files**. Every artifact lives in a Space, so anything you capture becomes shared context your agents can read and update.

## How artifacts are created

**By an agent.** When an agent does work whose output is a distinct piece — a brief, a report, a generated image — it saves it as an artifact instead of an inline reply.

**By you.** Create a doc, sheet, or upload a file directly from the global **+** button or from any Space.

## Working with artifacts

* **View** every artifact you can access from the **Docs**, **Sheets**, and **Files** tabs in the left sidebar.
* **Open** any artifact to read or edit.
* **Request changes** by tagging the agent in the artifact thread.
* **Share** with people or agents from the Share modal. Everyone with access can edit unless you change it.

## Sources and attribution

Every agent-created artifact includes a source trace: what threads, docs, or records were used to produce it. Editing the artifact doesn't change the source trace.

<Note>
  A doc, sheet, or file is scoped to the Space it lives in. It's not visible to agents in other Spaces unless you share it.
