--- title: Artifacts page overview slug: agent-platform/docs/artifacts-page-overview docTags: createdAt: 2026-08-12T15:37:06.000Z --- The **Artifacts** page is a centralized view of all artifacts generated in Optimizely Agent Platform. An artifact is any canvas or file that Mark creates in a chat thread, agent execution, or workflow run. A canvas is an interactive document you view and edit within Agent Platform. Use the Artifacts page to find past artifacts, filter by type or creator, or download files from agent workflows. For information about canvases, how to create them, and how to collaborate with Mark inside a canvas, see [Canvas overview](docId:1_VDSKJ_RG0FEQe0MCTv1) and [Manage canvases](docId\:x7LXyOYrPrpVn6CFuiHUh). ## Access the Artifacts page Click **Artifacts** in the Agent Platform navigation sidebar. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/B8r0s_oAS3emqrMPMc5LE_image.png) ## Switch between list and grid view Use the view toggle to switch between the following two display modes: - **Grid view** (Default) – Displays artifacts as visual cards with file previews. - **List view** – Displays artifacts in a table with sortable columns. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/qdUczhIzmEkIW94BLAv1n_image-1.png) ### Grid view When you hover over a card in the grid view, Agent Platform displays the following: ::Image[]{src="https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/68j4gQvuB2TG84GsQWMnc_image-2.png" size="100" isUploading="false" width="1792" height="1002" darkWidth="1792" darkHeight="1002" showCaption="false" indent="1"} 1. **Preview** – A thumbnail preview of the artifact content. Images show the actual image. Code, HTML, Markdown, and CSV files show a scaled-down preview of the content. Other file types display a category icon. 2. **Name** – Name of the artifact. 3. **Sharing status** – Whether the artifact is shared. See [Share artifacts](docId\:Vdej0FGiz7QfX9rRs_4Pu). 4. **Category** – An icon indicating the category of the artifact. Hover over the icon to see the specific file type in a tooltip. 5. **Date** – Date the artifact was created or last modified. 6. **View** – Go to the Mark chat or agent execution where the artifact was created. See [Mark chat](docId\:dtNBEttEGVvkhNkwNypLM). 7. **Actions** – Additional actions for the artifact. For a description of each action, see [Take action on artifacts](docId\:Dscxp54gzEtMWur6fT3Ur). Click any card to open the artifact in canvas. See [Canvas UI overview](docId:1_VDSKJ_RG0FEQe0MCTv1). ### List view The list view table includes the following columns: ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/DQdp6ugqbzNZI5gLv_A0p_image-3.png) 1. **Type** – An icon representing the artifact category. Hover over the icon to see the specific file type in a tooltip. 2. **Name** – The artifact file name. 3. **Source** – Mark chat or agent execution where the artifact was created. See [Mark chat](docId\:dtNBEttEGVvkhNkwNypLM). 4. **Created By** – The name of the user whose conversation or execution produced the artifact. 5. **Visibility** – Whether the artifact is shared. See [Share artifacts](docId\:Vdej0FGiz7QfX9rRs_4Pu). 6. **Created** – The date and time the artifact was created. 7. **Size** – The artifact size. 8. **Actions** – Displays additional available actions. For a description of each action, see [Take action on artifacts](docId\:Dscxp54gzEtMWur6fT3Ur). Sort by **Type**, **Name**, **Created**, or **Size** by clicking the column header. The default sort order is newest first (**Created**, descending). ## Artifact sources Each artifact on the page tracks where it was created. The following two source types exist: - **Chat** – The artifact was created during a chat conversation with Agent Platform. The source column displays the chat thread name as a link. - **Agent** – The artifact was created during specialized or workflow agent execution. The source column displays the agent or execution name as a link. Clicking a source link opens the originating conversation or execution in a new tab. ## Search artifacts Use the **Search artifact name** field to search by file name. Search results update as you type. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/OLyVdhgdjl-56xYwM2K-y_image-4.png) ## Filter artifacts The Artifacts page includes four filter drop-down lists alongside the search field. Changing any filter resets you to the first page of results. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/o9mKKnIafP-yboAGI9-34_image-5.png) ### Type filter Filter artifacts by category.

See [Share artifacts](docId\:Vdej0FGiz7QfX9rRs_4Pu) for details. **Share** displays only if your organization enables artifact sharing. ### Download as Download the artifact to your computer. The available download formats depend on the artifact type. For a full list of download formats by MIME type, see [Available download formats](docId:1_VDSKJ_RG0FEQe0MCTv1). The Artifacts page supports downloading additional file types beyond those listed in the Available download formats documentation: - **Image (PNG, JPEG, SVG, GIF, WebP)** – Native format (for example, `.png`, `.jpeg`) - **PDF** – PDF (`.pdf`) - **Word** – Word (`.docx`) - **Excel** – Excel (`.xlsx`) For all other file types not covered here or in [Available download formats](docId:1_VDSKJ_RG0FEQe0MCTv1) (such as standalone code files), the download defaults to Plain Text (`.txt`). ### Go to thread or execution Go to the chat thread or agent execution that created the artifact. This link opens in a new tab. The label changes depending on the source. - **Go to thread** – For artifacts created during a chat conversation. Opens the chat thread with the artifact scrolled into view. - **Go to execution** – For artifacts created during a specialized agent or workflow execution. Opens the execution detail page. :::hint{type="info"} **Note** This option is not available if the originating thread or agent has been deleted. The source column displays **(deleted)** in this case. ::: ## Pagination The Artifacts page uses page-based pagination. Use the pagination controls to complete the following: - Go to the next or previous page. - Change the number of artifacts displayed per page. The page saves your preferred page size across sessions. ![](https://api.archbee.com/api/optimize/BrbvVORKJ5iIeSMZye5kI/gS-wtyIshT3S1HBQ49ZS4_image-8.png) ## Next steps - [Share artifacts](docId\:Vdej0FGiz7QfX9rRs_4Pu) – Grant access to artifacts and manage permissions. - [Canvas overview](docId:1_VDSKJ_RG0FEQe0MCTv1) – Understand supported formats, download options, and the canvas viewer UI. - [Manage canvases](docId\:x7LXyOYrPrpVn6CFuiHUh) – Create canvases, collaborate with Mark, manage version history, and export content. :::hint{type="info"} **Note** If you use Opti ID, administrators can turn off generative AI in the Opti ID Admin Center.
