Organising and moving work ​

Keep a growing project tidy with folders, and reuse work by duplicating it, downloading it, importing it from a file, or copying an agent to another project.

1. Folders ​

Folders group related work, e.g. Prior auth and Member support. They also do one useful thing for tools: an agent in a folder is offered that folder's tools first.

Create a folder ​

  1. Click the ▾ beside New agent, New workflow or Register a tool.
  2. Choose Folder, give it a Folder name and a Folder colour.

Move things into a folder ​

  • Drag a card onto the folder (Drop to move here), or
  • Click Select, tick several items, then Move to folder in the bar that appears (Esc to finish selecting), or
  • For a new agent: choose the Folder in its Identity step. Creating an agent from inside a folder files it there.

Rename or delete a folder ​

Open the folder's actions menu: Rename, change the colour, or Delete folder. Deleting a folder does not delete what is in it; the items return to No folder.


2. Duplicate ​

Makes a copy in the same project under a new name and key, handy for a variant ("Card checker (copy)").

  1. In the list, open the item's ⋯ menu → Duplicate….
  2. Enter the new Name and Key. The key is how workflows and the API refer to it, and it cannot be changed later.
  3. Confirm. The copy is a draft: test and publish it like any new work.

3. Download ​

From the ⋯ menu:

ChoiceYou get
Download YAMLThe latest version's document (.yml)
Download with its tools (agents)A bundle: the agent plus the tools and other things it needs (.bundle.yml)

Downloads never contain secrets, only the names of the vault keys they use.


4. Import from a file ​

  1. Click the ▾ beside New agent (or New workflow / Register a tool) → Import from a file….

  2. Drop an agent's .yml or a bundle, or choose the file.

  3. Studio reads it and shows What the file brings, and what it refers to, grouped:

    GroupWhat you decide
    Agents and toolsEach is Already here, Will be created, or Built in. For one that already exists: Use the one here, Add as a new version of the one here, or Import it under another key
    CredentialsOnly names travel. Point each at a key in this vault: Use the one with this name here, Add a new key to the vault…, or Keep it, I'll add it to the vault later
    Knowledge basesDocuments don't travel. Pick one here, or Detach it, answer without a knowledge base
    App accountsKeep the same account, choose one this project may use, or Keep it, I'll connect one later
    Prompts in Instruction ManagerKeep the link to Instruction Manager (it won't publish until it is readable here) or Write the words into the agent
  4. Click Import as draft.

Everything arrives as a draft. Nothing is published by importing.


5. Copy an agent to another project ​

  1. In Agents, open the agent's ⋯ menu → Copy to project….
  2. Choose the Project (only projects you belong to are listed).
  3. Make the same choices as for an import (credentials, knowledge bases, app accounts, prompts).
  4. Confirm. Studio says, for example, Imported into Claims as a draft.

The copy is independent: changing it never changes the original.
