Choose, Open and Check Work Artifacts
Choose the file you need, open the delivered output and inspect it in the right editor or viewer. Practice comparing an original document with a focused revision.
Choose the result before choosing the tool
Ask for a result that fits what you need to do next: edit a proposal, change a budget input, present a decision or try an interactive experience. The file or editor is part of the workflow, not proof that the content is correct.
An actual document with editable structure
Work can create Word paragraphs and native tables from your brief. Explore the example below, then follow the Documents lesson to build and revise a complete file.
Checked values in the actual final Word table
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Scenario | Without optional printing. The proposal still needs approval. |
| Total cost | USD 370. |
| Proposed income | USD 480. |
| Remaining funds | USD 110, excluding unspecified tax and delivery. |
| Questions to resolve | What tax applies? What delivery terms apply? |
Choose an artifact for your next action
Use a document for editable prose, a spreadsheet for formulas, or slides for a presentation. Follow the linked examples for each file type’s controls and source checks.
Choose the result and a useful check
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Document | A brief or proposal with editable paragraphs and a native table. Compare facts, section meaning and questions with the source. |
| Spreadsheet | Rows with editable inputs and native formulas. Recompute a known total and check the dependent cells after an input change. |
| Presentation | Editable slides with text, tables and notes. Check required slide content, figures and what should remain after a revision. |
| Images or video | Inspect the actual media, requested change and preserved details. Review the appropriate Work studio lesson for its controls. |
| Code or HTML | Inspect the actual source and relevant executed checks. For interactive work, test the experience; a code listing or screenshot is not a working game or site. |
1. Open the actual delivered output
Open the output’s file card and inspect its contents. Check the title, file type and version you intended. An outline, task promise or progress label is not the finished file. Some clients expose full editors; others show previews or source viewers.
2. Choose a direct edit or a Work revision
Use a direct editor control when it is available for the change you want. For a conversational revision, name the artifact and the exact target, plus what must stay. Do not assume a source viewer has the same editing tools as a document or spreadsheet editor.
Review the kind of change
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Text or table | Compare source facts and nearby paragraphs as well as the changed selection. |
| Spreadsheet input | Inspect the formula, references and dependent totals. Keep units consistent. |
| Slide | Check the requested slide and untouched slides/notes. |
| Image/video | Inspect the new output and preserved details; a requested edit is not proof of exact preservation. |
| Code | Inspect the diff and the actual relevant test results, including failed checks. |
3. Keep the working version identifiable
Name or retain the original when comparing versions. If a newer output appears, confirm which file is open before editing. After a direct edit, wait for its save state, reopen the same file and inspect the specific change. If using an in-app export, inspect the resulting file too.
Compare a file and its revision
Create the meeting document below, open it and request a separate time-change revision. Compare the whole document, including facts tables and surrounding text.
Access, clients and credits
Use Work with Plus for this exercise. See the Work reference for model usage, workspace access and task limits.
Artifact toolkit questions
Choose a useful file and inspect its real contents.
Is a table in a Chat reply an editable spreadsheet artifact?
A Chat table is text. Ask Work for an actual workbook with native cells/formulas when you need spreadsheet editing, and inspect the delivered file.
Can I edit every artifact directly?
Editing depends on the file type, client and available controls. Use the relevant editor where offered, or ask Work for a focused revision and inspect the returned output.
Does a Saved label prove the exported file is correct?
Check the specific change after reopening, then inspect an in-app export if you need one. Save state, persistence and export fidelity are different checks.

Your turn
Open and compare two document versions.
Request a meeting brief using the facts below. Open the actual file, confirm its type and sections, then request a separate revision and compare both versions.
Write a draft and review the checklist.
Your draft saves in this browser. You can leave and come back.
Take the brief into Work
Copy the brief, open Gab AI and choose Work before pasting and sending it. Open the delivered file and check it against the brief.
These buttons open the product and copy your draft. You choose the mode and send the request yourself.

Review the first answer, then send this follow-up in the same conversation.
Create a separate revision of the meeting document changing the start time from 10:30 to 11:00. Preserve Saturday, 12 adult volunteers, garden entrance and the 45-minute agenda. Keep the original file and all missing details. Check the title, facts table and surrounding text for the old time.Check that the requested change happened and the correct facts, format and missing details survived. For a file, open the revised artifact and inspect nearby paragraphs or formulas too.
