A file Hebno makes belongs to the chat until you save it. Saving files it in a project, or in a SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box folder linked to that project, and every later save updates the same file.

​
Formats

A document, deck or workbook defaults to Word, PowerPoint or Excel. Text answers default to Markdown. Documents include a Sources section at the end when exported. Decks have no citation markers. Charts in a document export as charts in PDF and Word. In Word they are native charts, so you can restyle them or edit the figures. Waterfall, scatter and combo charts appear in Word as the table of figures behind the chart. PowerPoint and Markdown exports show that table for every chart. Figures follow your language setting, so a Danish setup writes 5.349.387 and 47,6.

Save to a project

1

Select Save

Use Save in the pane toolbar, or the folder button on a file’s row in Chat files.
2

Choose the project

The dialog Save to a project requests a project: “Choose a project. This chat will be tagged to it.” If the chat already has a project, it is preselected.
3

Set folder, filename and format

Choose a Folder, edit the Filename, and pick the Format. For Word and PowerPoint you can also choose a template (see below).
4

Select Save to the project

The button reads Save to followed by the project name. The file appears under the project’s Brain → Files.
Saving a second time updates the file you saved before instead of adding another. The dialog says “This will replace the existing file in the project.” When you ask Hebno to change a deck, document or workbook that is already saved, the project copy is updated too. Files saved to a project’s Brain are available to every chat in that project. See Project Brain.

​
Save to a linked folder

If the project has a linked SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box folder, Save also offers Save to folder. Choose the folder, filename and format, and Hebno writes the file there. Spreadsheets save to linked folders the same way documents and decks do.
  • Hebno writes to the folder with your own account, so the file shows you as its author and applies the folder’s permissions.
  • A confirmation says “This writes a file to the linked folder. Hebno never writes to a customer folder on its own.” Nothing is written until you confirm.
  • Saving again to the same folder updates the same file.
  • If your connection does not have write access, you are asked to reconnect under Settings → Connections to grant it.
See Project brain for how to link a folder to a project, and the pages for SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox and Box.

​
Choose a template

When you save or download as Word or PowerPoint, the dialog Choose a template offers a library template, a project template, or Hebno’s default look. The default for the project, or failing that for the library, is preselected. When a run followed a template’s structure, that template is preselected. See Templates. With a Word template, lists and links are written into the document as plain text.

​
Save states

Turn footers in chat show Deck saved, Document saved, Workbook saved or No files changed, with a count of files read. Leaving the editor with unsaved changes shows Discard your changes? with Keep editing, Done editing and Discard.

​
Download

Download in the pane toolbar downloads a file in the format you pick without creating a project file. For a deck, Download PowerPoint in the pane header downloads the .pptx directly. Downloads match the preview, including colours, fonts and additions. To keep a whole conversation, open Chat options and choose Download for Markdown, PDF, Word or PowerPoint. The file includes each message, the research steps, the sources and the claims. See History and export.
