Manage Project Documents and Long-Term Context

The Docs panel is used to manage long-term project context. Together with Media Space and the Timeline, it is part of the Flova workspace: Media Space manages media, the Timeline manages the final edit, and the Docs panel manages information that you and the Agent need to keep remembering, referencing, and updating throughout the project.

In complex video projects, the Flova Agent usually maintains two core documents by default: Final Video Spec and Skill. You do not have to use them manually, but they help the Agent understand the project goal, video structure, style rules, and execution preferences more consistently. If you want more information to stay in the project's long-term memory, you can also upload documents, create documents yourself, or ask the Agent to create and update documents.

View project documents

You can switch between documents from the left side of the Docs panel. Common document types include:

Final Video Spec: records the final video's goal, structure, style, shots, and delivery requirements.
Skill: records the methods, rules, and preferences the project should follow.
Created documents: project documents created by you or the Agent, useful for saving brand rules, character settings, organized references, task notes, and other information that should stay with the project.
Uploaded documents: reference files uploaded from your computer. They can be referenced by the project and understood by the Agent, but the original uploaded documents cannot be edited directly.

You can switch between Readable view and Markdown view. Readable view is better for quick reading and review, while Markdown view is better for checking or editing the document's source structure.

Create and upload documents

If you want a piece of information to stay with the project, you can create a document directly. Created documents are editable, making them useful for background information, rules, ideas, or interim conclusions that you want the Agent to keep referencing later.

If you already have an existing file, you can upload it to the project. Uploaded documents are useful as long-term reference material, such as screenplay files, brand guides, script notes, or client briefs. Uploaded documents can be viewed, referenced, deleted, or downloaded, but the original file content cannot be edited directly. If you want an editable version based on an uploaded document, you can ask the Agent to organize it into a new project document.

You can also ask the Agent from the chat box to create or update documents, such as turning a discussion into project rules or distilling an uploaded document into a long-term reference document.

Edit project documents

Editable documents can be changed directly in the Docs panel. After you save, the Agent continues from the current project documents and project state.

Different document types are edited in slightly different ways:

Final Video Spec and created documents work more like regular Markdown documents, suitable for directly editing text, structure, and rules.
Skill is shown in structured sections, making it easier to review and adjust the Agent's execution rules section by section. A Skill document can also be saved as your Skill for reuse later.
Uploaded documents are read-only reference material and cannot be edited directly.

For a clear small change, editing manually is usually faster. For larger rewrites, merges, or restructuring, you can let the Agent make the first pass and then review it.

Add document content to chat

When reading a document, you can select a passage and add it to the chat box on the right. This tells the Agent exactly which document and passage you are referring to, which is useful when you want it to modify, explain, summarize, or act on a specific part of a document.

For example, you can select a style requirement from Final Video Spec and ask the Agent to adjust a shot accordingly. You can also select brand rules from a created document and ask the Agent to check whether current media follows them.

Usage tips

The more complex a project becomes, the more useful it is to keep key rules and long-term information in documents instead of only in one-off chat messages.
For clear small changes, edit manually. For broader organization, rewriting, or distillation, let the Agent help first.
Uploaded documents are best as read-only references. For content you want to maintain over time, turn it into an editable project document.
Before changing Skill or Final Video Spec, confirm that you are editing the project version you want to keep.
