Overview

You manage deliverables where they appear in Cowork — document nodes on the Mesh Canvas and the Files section in an employee’s drawer. There is no standalone file browser app.

​
Open a document from the mesh

  1. Find the document node (orb) on the Mesh Canvas — usually near the employee or squad that created it.
  2. Click the node to open the preview.
  3. From the preview you can:
    • Read or skim content
    • Download the current version
    • Browse version history and open or restore an older version

​
Open files from the employee drawer

  1. Click an employee node on the mesh.
  2. In the drawer, open Files (or the files section in the run detail).
  3. Select a file to preview or download — same version history as mesh nodes.
Squad files also open from the Squad panel → shared working document or linked files.

​
Organize with folders

Files can carry a folder path for grouping (for example squad working documents often live under a Squads/<name> path). Consistent naming across your team makes related documents easier to spot in the drawer list.

​
Download and versions

  • Download always pulls the version you are viewing.
  • Before assuming a file is stale, check version history — a newer version may already exist from a later run.

​
Tips

  • Pin important document nodes mentally by employee color and name — the canvas can get crowded
  • After a squad run, open the working document first, then drill into individual member files if needed
  • Use scope changes when the whole team needs access, not repeated one-off sends
