Create and edit

Chat with open editors

Use Lato to edit the correct open artifact and switch targets safely.

Activate the intended editor

Open the artifact and click or focus its pane. Oppermind treats the active pane as the current editing target.

A document open in the right-hand editor pane beside the chat.
The open editor on the right is the one your chat will target.
Try this
With the Q3 board deck and the board-pack document both open in the right-hand pane, click anywhere inside the deck, then type: Add a slide after slide 3 summarising the three risks from the board pack.
What you getThe chip above the composer switches to Editing: Q3 board deck and the new slide lands in the deck, not in the document.

Check the editing chip

The composer shows the artifact title with an editing label. Check this chip before asking for a change, especially when several editors are open.

The Editing chip names the file that will be changed. No chip, no targeted edit.
Try this
Before sending, read the chip above the composer: it should say Editing: pricing-model.xlsx. If it names the proposal document instead, click the sheet's pane first, then type: Add a column for annual price with a 10 percent discount.
What you getThe chip names the sheet, the new column is added to pricing-model.xlsx, and the proposal document is left exactly as it was.

Ask for an edit or a new output

A focused edit request is applied to the tagged artifact. If you explicitly ask to create a new document, sheet, deck, design, or other output, Oppermind should create new work rather than overwrite the active artifact.

Ask explicitly for a new output and the active document is left alone.
Try this
With Editing: onboarding-guide.docx showing, type: Create a new one-page welcome email for new hires based on this guide. Do not change the guide itself.
What you getOppermind opens a separate email draft in the Email editor and the onboarding guide keeps its content, because you explicitly asked for a new output.

Switch or clear the target

Click another open editor to target it. Remove the editing chip when you want the next message to have no active editor target.

No chip, no target: the reply is advice in chat and the sheet stays as it was.
Try this
Click the close control on the Editing: sales-forecast.xlsx chip, then type: What is a sensible way to present forecast uncertainty to a non-finance audience?
What you getThe chip disappears, the reply appears in chat as advice only and the forecast sheet is not edited; clicking the sheet's pane again brings the chip back.
