Find an artifact and go back a version

Everything your Talent saved for you lives on one page: Workspace then Artifacts in the left navigation. Every artifact keeps every version, so nothing you had last week is gone because something got rewritten today.

Find it

1. Open Artifacts.
2. Use the scope row at the top. Yours is everything you own. Shared with you is only what your department shared with you, so it never repeats your own work. If you are not in a department, you only see Yours.
3. Search by name in the search box, or narrow with the Visibility filter.
4. Sort by Updated or Created.

Each row tells you what it actually is. A rendered document reads Deck · PPTX, Spreadsheet · XLSX, Doc · DOCX or PDF. Something with no render yet stays a plain document. A single page app carries a Web app badge, and anything published for coworkers to reuse says In the Marketplace.

Open an exact version

Open the artifact and look at the header. Next to the title you get a quiet v3 · History control.

1. Choose History.
2. Pick the version you want. It opens read only, exactly as it was saved.
3. To make it current again, choose Restore. That writes a new version whose content is the old one, so the versions in between still exist.

Links you copy always point at an exact version, not "whatever this is now". That is deliberate: a coworker opening the link a month later sees the words you sent them, not a later draft.

Archive or delete

These are not the same thing, and the difference matters.

• Archive takes an artifact out of your lists and makes it read only. You can still open its versions, so old receipts in Activity keep working.
• Delete takes it out of your lists and takes the content with it. Source, versions, rendered files and previews all stop being readable. Old links, chat cards and Activity entries show This artifact was deleted with nothing to open, download or adopt.

Both are on the overflow menu of the card or row, and in the artifact's own header. A delete confirmation names the artifact before it goes.

A worked example

You sent version 3 of a launch brief to leadership, then rewrote the positioning in version 4. Open History, select version 3, and use its exact link when someone asks what they reviewed. If version 3 should become the starting point again, restore it. TalentOS creates a new current version and keeps both later and earlier versions intact.

What to check

• Something you expected is not in the list. Check the scope row. Work shared with your department is under Shared with you, not Yours. Archived and deleted artifacts are in neither.
• Shared with you is empty. Nothing has been shared with your active department yet. If you belong to more than one, only the active one counts.
• The list looks short. Older work paginates. Scroll to load more rather than assuming it was lost.
• A row has no format badge. On a busy page, format checks are capped for speed. The badge is missing, the file is not.
• You are an admin looking for a coworker's file. Admins see a metadata inventory of the workspace's artifacts so they can rename or delete, but never the contents. Being an admin does not open someone else's work.
