Overview

When Digital Employees finish work, their documents and files show up in Cowork in two places you actually use:
  1. Document nodes on the Mesh Canvas — orbs linked to an employee or squad
  2. Files section in the employee drawer — everything that employee produced in its workspace
There is no separate “Artifacts browser” or Spaces screen in Cowork. You open outputs from the canvas or the drawer.

What counts as a document

  • Reports, spreadsheets, PDFs, code files, images — any file an employee creates or uploads during a run
  • A squad’s shared working document — the squad’s living deliverable
  • Version history — each update keeps prior versions you can review or restore
Documents stay linked to the employee (or squad) that created them so you can trace results back to a run.

Lifecycle

Created during a run

When an employee completes a task, Tess captures outputs automatically. New files typically start in your personal visibility and appear on the mesh near the employee.

Visible on the mesh

Document nodes sit on the canvas next to the employee or squad that owns them. Click a node to preview, download, or read version history.

Shared through squads and teams

Move visibility wider when others need access — for example by adding files to a Squad (shared with all squad members) or promoting to team or workspace scope. See Scope hierarchy.

Updated over time

Each save creates a new version. Open the document to compare or restore an earlier version.

Where to look

Tips

  • Use clear names when employees ask you to rename outputs — it speeds up search on a busy canvas
  • If you expect a file and do not see it, open the employee drawer and check the latest run in the timeline
  • For squad work, start with the working document before hunting individual member files
