Design, artifacts and moving work between canvas and code

Artifacts let you share session output as a standalone product: a page, document or demo. The flow between design work and project code turns quick experiments into real deliverables.

Steps

  1. Ask for output as an artifact when you want something standalone to share, not another code change.
  2. Verify the artifact looks right before sharing: open and inspect it, especially visual output.
  3. When a demo succeeds, move the result into project code properly: file, test and commit.
  4. Use the relevant commands to share and manage artifacts, and clean up old ones you no longer need.
Common pitfall: A shared artifact is public to anyone with the link; check what it contains before distributing, especially real data.
Hands-on exercise: Create a small artifact (a simple landing page, for example), inspect it visually, then move one component from it into the project with a test.
