Resources
What resources are
Resources are files made available in Kitemesh to enrich a chat, document a model, or share working context.
Types and statuses
Resources can represent several kinds of content:
- document
- image
- audio
- video
Their lifecycle usually moves through these statuses:

Where a resource can belong
A resource can be attached to different scopes depending on the intended use:
- user
- conversation
- team
- custom model
- group model
The right choice depends on visibility and reuse:

Add a file
When a file is added, Kitemesh asks for the target scope. Once the upload starts, the file appears with its current processing status.
Use resources in chat
From chat configuration, it is possible to:
- inspect available files by section
- include or exclude specific files
- download an existing file
This is especially useful when a workspace contains many files and the chat should only use a limited subset.
Delete a resource
Deleting a resource removes the file from the selected scope. Before deleting, confirm that the file is no longer needed by a group model, a team, or an important conversation.
Good practices
- Organize files by use, not by habit.
- Use explicit file names.
- Prefer team resources for shared material.
- Clean up temporary resources when they are no longer useful.
