Saving a chat response as a document

Turn a useful answer into a real document in your library, in a folder you choose or one Secretary picks.

Step 1

Press Save to documents

Any reply the AI wrote can be saved: a summary, a draft, a plan. Under the reply, press the floppy disk button. Its tooltip reads Save to documents, or Save image to documents on an image.

Step 2

Name it

The Save to Documents window opens with a File name box. Type a name, or press the sparkle at the end of the box to have one suggested from the content.

Step 3

Step 4

Manual: pick a folder

The Save to Documents window shows your folder tree with a search box and a new folder button. The chosen folder turns dark and the footer reads Saving to with its name. Press Save here. If you pick nothing, it goes to your personal folder, so nothing is lost and you can move it later.

A quarterly plan with priorities and owners belongs with your other planning documents.

Step 6

Then it is just a document

Open it, search for it, share it, or pick it into another chat like anything you uploaded yourself. Text replies keep their formatting; a generated file is saved as that file.

Step 7

Images, charts and artifacts too

A generated image has Save to Docs on its corner rail, and a Visualization card or an artifact panel has its own Save to Documents. Export, next to Save under a reply, downloads a file instead of keeping it in Secretary.
