Recent Files
Access every file generated or uploaded in your Odeus workspace from one place. Preview, download, organize, and manage files without digging through individual chats.
Recent Files shows files you create, upload, or import in Odeus. Documents, spreadsheets, presentations, files uploaded to chats or the Library, and files imported from connected integrations all appear here.

What appears in Recent Files
Recent Files shows files based on their origin:
| Origin | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Generated | Documents and presentations created by Odeus in chat |
| Uploaded | Files uploaded directly to a conversation or the Library |
| Imported | Files pulled in from connected integrations |
Files stored in Folders and workflow-only files are not shown here.
Recent Files follows your workspace's chat data retention settings. When a chat is deleted, only files associated with that chat are removed from Recent Files.
Grid and list view
Toggle between grid view (thumbnails) and list view (rows with details) using the view switcher in the top-right corner of the Recent Files section. Your preference is saved automatically.
Filtering
Use the filter controls to narrow down files:
- File type: Documents, Presentations, or PDFs
- Date: Filter by creation date range
- Origin: Uploaded, Generated, or Imported
File actions
Each file has a set of actions available from its context menu or action bar:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Preview | Open a preview of the file |
| Download | Download the original file |
| Jump to chat | Open the original chat when the file came from a chat |
| Start chat | Open a new chat with this file attached |
| Move to folder | Move the file into a Folder |
| Delete | Remove the file permanently |
File preview
Files can be previewed in these ways:
Inline thumbnail. Visible directly on each file card in grid view. Hover over a multi-page file to scrub through its pages.
Side panel. Click a file to open a resizable side panel preview without leaving the Library.
Full-screen. Open the full-screen view for a larger preview. Multi-page files (documents, presentations) show a slide thumbnail strip for quick navigation. Presentations also support a presenter mode.
Spreadsheet preview. Open spreadsheets with sheet tabs, zoom, column resizing, and formula inspection.
Batch actions
Select multiple files using Shift + click to enable batch actions. A bar appears at the bottom with options to:
- Download all selected files
- Move to folder: moves all selected files into a Folder at once
- Delete all selected files
Moving files to a Folder
From any file's context menu, select Move to folder and choose the destination Folder. You can also do this in bulk using batch selection.
Once moved, the file is accessible within that Folder and can be used for AI search via @mentions in chat.
