Artifact Rendering

Rendering turns source files or structured data into views users can inspect in the app.

How Readers Use This

  • Render documents, datasets, scenes, and recordings when a source needs a visual or structured view.
  • Treat rendered output as derived content that should remain connected to the source.
  • Check render status and errors before assuming content is available.

Working Model

Every artifact has common identity and metadata. Kind-specific data explains what the artifact means, blobs hold file-backed content, links connect it to other artifacts, and events show how it changed.

Media To Add

  • Video: document artifact rendering from original file to page images. It helps users understand asynchronous rendering. Source: sample document renderer workflow.
