An answer in a transcript is not a deliverable. When the agent produces a
report, a spreadsheet, a chart, or a document, it writes the file into its
output/ directory and Tidebreak publishes it as an output.
Outputs are scanned for after every command the agent runs, so a file appears as soon as it is written — you do not have to ask for it.
Finding them
- A strip above the transcript shows the chat's outputs. Toggle it with Show outputs / Hide outputs.
- The Outputs panel, opened from the activity chip in the chat header, lists all of them with Name, Type, Size, Revisions, and Updated, with search and a type filter.
Opening one shows a preview. Charts written as Plotly figures render as real figures, not images: hover for values, drag to zoom, and use the toolbar to zoom, reset, or save a PNG. Backgrounds, gridlines, and type follow the app's theme in both light and dark — but only where the figure left them unsaid. A chart is the agent's artifact, so anything it set explicitly, including the series colors, is kept.
Versions
The filename is the identity. When the agent writes the same filename again, that is a new revision of the same output, not a second file. The Version history popover on an output shows the revisions and lets you look at earlier ones.
History is append-only. Restoring an older revision publishes it as a new revision on top; it does not erase what came after.
Exporting
Save as… on an output opens your operating system's save dialog and writes the file wherever you choose. This is a real export — the file leaves the app and is yours.
The agent can also propose writing an output into a connected folder, which you approve from the transcript.
Deleting
Delete on an output removes it from the list, and the toast that follows offers Undo. It is a soft delete.
