The Library

One list of every app, file and artifact in your account, across every workspace, with search, type and workspace filters and a pinned block at the top.

Updated 23 October 2026

Library is one of the tabs at the top of the sidebar's list, and it is one list of everything in your account that is not a chat, across every workspace you are in. Three kinds of thing go in it.

• Apps: the web apps your agents have built, in any of your workspaces.
• Files: things saved into a workspace's files, so they have a home you can go back to. Documents, presentations, diagrams and interactive widgets (a calculator, a wiring diagram you can click through) all land here once they are saved to a workspace.
• Artifacts: things an agent made inside a chat and never filed anywhere, so the chat is where they live. A widget that was never saved to a workspace is listed here.

Most other ways to reach these things are somewhere you have to be first: a workspace's Files and apps tab, the panel beside one chat, a project. The Library is the version of that question you can ask from anywhere, so it is a tab beside your chats rather than a page inside a workspace. It lists the same things for whatever the sidebar's picker is showing: everything, one workspace or one project. See Your sidebar, your lists and your settings for the rest of the sidebar.

The Library tab is not there until there is something in it. It follows the scope you picked: it appears when that workspace or project has apps, files or artifacts, goes away when you switch to one that has none, and comes back when you switch back, so it can come and go as you move between workspaces. The All tab lists the same things mixed in with your chats.

Opening a row

Clicking a row opens the thing itself, full size, in the main column, and leaves the sidebar's list as it was so the next one is a click away. An app takes over the main column the way a clicked app link does, with a button to open it in a new tab, a refresh button and a close button along the top. A file or an artifact opens on the Library's own view as the document, the diagram or the deck itself. Neither takes you to a workspace page: a file's workspace is named under its row, and the workspace's Files and apps tab still lists it, but that tab is where to browse a workspace, not the door to one thing you have already found.

Talking about it beside it

Every document, file, widget, deck and app names the chat it lives in at the top, with the chat's picture: first among the buttons at the top right of a document, an app or a preview, and in a deck's title bar. It is the same wherever you opened the thing from: the Library, a project, an app on a workspace's Apps and Files tab, or the card in the chat itself. On a computer, clicking the chat's name opens that chat beside the thing, live, so you can read the document and ask for changes without leaving it. Click the name again to put the chat away.

• Opened from a card in its chat, the thing starts with the chat already open beside it on Just this, the replies to that card, since that is where you came from. Switch to Whole chat for the rest of the conversation, or click the chat's name to put it away for this card. Opening a card from the panel there opens it in the same place.

• The less used buttons, such as Open in files, Copy URL and Ask Omni, are on the menu behind the three dots at the end of the header.

• The chat opens on the message the thing was posted in, not on the newest message, and what you type starts out as a reply to that message, so the agents know which thing you mean. Close the reply to send a plain message.

• Whole chat and Just this switch between the full conversation and only the replies to that message. Just this is the same thread you see on the message in the chat itself, so everything said here is in the chat too.

• The chat sits as a column on the right. Drag its left edge to make it wider. When the window is too narrow for both at that width, the column narrows first so the thing keeps its room. When it is too narrow for both at all, the thing keeps the whole width: clicking the chat's name then shows the chat in its place, and Close brings the thing back.

• Clicking the chat's name at the top of the panel, or Go to on the menu beside the chat's name above the thing, opens the chat itself in place of the thing.

• Opening another card from the chat in the panel, say a different app or document, puts that thing in the middle of the window in place of the first, and the panel follows it to its own chat and message. The card for whatever is open now reads Viewing.

• A deck already has a panel of its own on the right, with General Discussion, Comments and History. That panel gets one more tab named after the chat, wherever the deck was opened from, and the chat's name in the deck's title bar opens the panel on that tab, so a deck never has two panels side by side. General Discussion is the deck's own thread, the same one Just this shows for anything else.

Bolter remembers how you last left it, open or closed and how wide, and opens the next thing you look at the same way. On a phone the button takes you to the chat.

The list is one run in order of what you opened most recently, whatever kind each row is, so the thing you were reading an hour ago is near the top. Everything you have never opened comes after all of that, newest change first, so the top of the list is always things you have actually looked at. This holds on every type filter, All included. The order is yours: a colleague opening the same doc moves nothing in your list. Each row says what it is under its name, and which agent created it, with the agent's picture. Something a person added, with no agent behind it, names where it lives instead: a file names its chat first and then the workspace that keeps it; an app names its workspace.

Opening something from its chat counts too: open a document, a deck or a widget from the card in a chat and it goes to the top of the Library, and of All in the sidebar, straight away.

The list holds still while it is open. Opening a row from it does not move that row to the top until the next time you open the Library.

Long lists load a page at a time. When there is more than the list is showing, a Show more row sits at the end.

Pinning what you keep coming back to

Anything you keep coming back to can be pinned to the top. Right-click a row and choose Pin, or drag the row onto the sidebar's Pinned section: it moves up there, beside your pinned chats, on the Library and All tabs. Right-click a pinned row and choose Unpin to put it back where recency puts it. On a phone, press and hold a row and choose Pin to the top (or Unpin).

Pinned rows are held in the order you pinned them, newest first, and they are taken out of the main run so nothing appears twice. You can pin up to fifty things.

Your Library pins are yours. Nobody else sees them, they follow you to any device you sign in on, and they survive the filters: narrowing by name, type, workspace or project narrows the pinned rows the same way it narrows everything else.

Narrowing the list

Three things narrow the list.

• The sidebar's filter box filters by name, and it searches everything you have, not just the rows already on screen, so something you made months ago is one search away. It matches the chat or workspace a thing came from as well as its name. Type at least two letters. The box is shared by every tab of the sidebar, so a word typed there narrows the Library and stays when you switch tabs.
• The type picker beside the box, on the Library tab, starts on All, and can be set to apps, files or artifacts. Each choice shows how many rows it would leave, counted after the box and the scope, so a choice never turns out to be empty. Long text you pasted into a message stays out of All, since it belongs to the message it was sent with. It is still listed under files, and pinning it brings it back to the top of All.
• The picker at the top of the sidebar narrows the Library to one workspace or one project, along with your chats.

The Library's filters last for as long as you are in the app and reset on your next visit, so a list that came back missing things is never a mystery.
