# Use Files, Attachments, and Artifacts in Ask Z

> Upload files, paste large text, preview attachments, and share generated artifacts from Ask Z and AI Studio Library.

### **Overview**

Ask Z can work with files and larger pieces of context directly inside a conversation. You can upload files, paste large blocks of text, review previews, and manage shared files from **AI Studio > Library**.

Use files when Ask Z needs to summarize a document, inspect an image, compare information, draft from source material, or keep supporting context attached to the conversation.

### **Add a File to Ask Z**

1. Open Ask Z.
2. Click the attachment button in the prompt area.
3. Choose the file you want to upload.
4. Wait for the upload progress to finish.
5. Add any instructions Ask Z should follow.
6. Send the message.

You can remove an attachment before sending if you selected the wrong file.

### **Paste Files or Large Text**

Ask Z also supports pasted context:

* Paste a copied file into the prompt area when your browser supports file paste.
* Paste a large block of text and Ask Z will turn it into an attached text file.

This is useful for logs, notes, drafts, transcripts, requirements, or other long content that would be awkward to fit into the prompt box.

### **Review File Previews**

After a file is uploaded or returned by Ask Z, review the preview before relying on the answer.

Supported previews can include:

* Images
* Documents
* PDFs
* Other uploaded files with available preview information

If a preview is not available for a file type, use the file name and Ask Z's response to confirm the right attachment was used.

### **Use AI Studio Library**

The Library page helps your team review files shared with Ask Z.

1. Open **AI Studio**.
2. Go to **Library**.
3. Use **All**, **Images**, or **Files** to filter the library.
4. Use **Search attachments...** to find a specific file.
5. Open a file to review its preview and details.

Generated artifacts can also appear in the library. Review artifacts before sharing them with teammates or customers.

### **Share and Revoke Artifact Links**

When an Ask Z artifact needs to be shared outside Z360, create a public link from the artifact's sharing controls.

Only share artifacts that are ready for external viewing. If access should end later, revoke the public link from the same sharing controls.

### **Best Practices**

* Wait for uploads to finish before sending the message.
* Tell Ask Z exactly what to do with each file.
* Remove unrelated attachments so Ask Z focuses on the right context.
* Review generated artifacts before sharing public links.
* Revoke public links when external access is no longer needed.
