FAQs
Artifacts questions.
Short answers before you change settings, upload files, connect apps, generate images, or publish work.
Q.01
When should I ask for an artifact?
Use artifacts when the output needs editing, previewing, copying, or handoff outside the conversation.
Q.02
What belongs in an artifact?
Documents, tables, code, checklists, drafts, and anything that benefits from a stable visible surface.
Q.03
How do I keep artifacts from drifting?
Give Claude a revision rule: change only the named section, preserve approved structure, and summarize what changed.
Q.04
Can artifacts replace a real editor?
No. They are an excellent working surface, but final review still belongs in the tool where the work will ship.
