# Artifacts Overview

> Create, edit, and share documents, code, and interactive content.

Artifacts are pieces of content that Flast creates for you during conversations. Documents, code files, websites, and more can be generated, edited, and shared.

## What Are Artifacts?

Artifacts are standalone content items that:

* Can be edited and refined through conversation
* Have their own viewer for preview
* Can be published and shared
* Are saved in your Library for later access

## The Artifact Viewer

When an artifact is created, a dedicated viewer appears showing:

* **Live preview**: See websites and documents rendered
* **Code view**: Toggle to see the source code
* **Version history**: Access previous versions
* **Actions**: Copy, download, publish, or delete

## Cross-Chat Access

Artifacts can be accessed from multiple conversations:

* Reference an existing artifact in a new chat
* Continue editing across sessions
* Share artifacts between projects
