# Working with Artifacts
## The work your team saves — reports and summaries that become shared knowledge.
Meta description: Artifacts are the outputs your team saves in NetworkOS. How they’re scoped to Workspaces and Missions, where to find them, and how sources stay visible.
### **What are Artifacts**
An **Artifact** is a piece of saved work — a research report, a summary, a document, anything generated in Terminal and kept rather than left in a conversation. Once an output is saved, it becomes an Artifact: indexed, and part of the shared knowledge layer that powers the platform's intelligence going forward. Every Artifact your team saves is context the next answer can draw on.
This is different from a **File**, which is something you bring *into* NetworkOS as context — an upload that becomes part of your Workspace's data. An Artifact is something NetworkOS produces. A File can be a source or context for producing an Artifact.
Today, most Artifacts are reports — and a report can hold more than prose. It can contain record tables, which map directly to the actual People, Organization, and Event records behind it — so the report and the data holding it up stay connected, not just a static write-up. Artifact types are also expanding: visualized data — graphs — are coming as another kind of Artifact, alongside reports.
### **How Artifacts work**
**Every Artifact is scoped to your Workspace or a Mission** — but even when it's saved to a Mission, it still rolls up to the Workspace level. Think of Missions like folders: a file can sit loose in the drive, or live inside a folder, but everything in every folder is still part of the drive. An Artifact saved to a Mission is still a Workspace Artifact — just organized under that thread of work.
**Every Artifact can be moved** — into a Mission, out of a Mission, or from one Mission to another. Select the Artifact (or several at once) and use the controls in the page header to move it. Saving isn't a one-way decision.
**Every Artifact tracks its creator and its sources**, distinctly and visibly. You always know who made it and what it drew on — that's the provenance that makes an Artifact trustworthy, not just saved.
**Every Artifact is visible Workspace-wide once saved.** Anyone in the Workspace can access it, whether it's sitting at the Workspace level or inside a Mission. (Mission-level privacy scoping is coming — for now, saving to a Mission organizes an Artifact, it doesn't restrict who can see it.)
### **Finding your Artifacts**
**Where to find it:** **Artifacts** in the main navigation, or a Mission's own page for Artifacts scoped to that Mission — they appear right on the Mission's single page.
- The main **Artifacts** page shows every Artifact in your Workspace, regardless of whether it was saved to the Workspace at large or to a specific Mission.
- A **Mission's** own page shows its Artifacts as a section, alongside the Mission's Files — only what's saved to that thread of work, all in one place.
### **Saving an Artifact**
Artifacts are created from Terminal — see [*Saving and sharing your work*](https://help-networkos.collaboration.ai/the-terminal#saving-sharing-your-work) for the mechanics of expanding an output into Studio and choosing where to save it. This article is the concept and the destination; that one is the how.
