FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does pull return?

Pull retrieves a current Render Document for inspection or recovery. Keep the editable OWX source in your own source tree.

How do I create a separate document from a bound artifact directory?

Use ow publish with --new-document after checking that a new identity is truly intended.

Use the real workflow

Publish what your agent creates.

Install the CLI, author in OWX, validate locally, and publish a private work. Create a reader link only when you are ready to share.
