Local files and online shared files

Understand where GPDoc files live and which collaboration workflows require a connection.

GPDoc does not store your local files. A local document stays in the device, folder, Git repository, or provider location you select until you explicitly share, publish, or move it through an online workflow.

Local files

  • Open and edit supported Markdown, GPDoc, notebook, slide, script, dataset, and drawing files on the current client.
  • Save changes back through the file authority exposed by that client.
  • Create detached exports such as HTML, PDF, Markdown, LaTeX, .ipynb, CSV, PowerPoint, SVG, or PNG where the file type supports them.
  • Use your device or organization controls for encryption, backup, retention, and access.

An installed client may use recovery data to protect an editing session. That recovery data is not a separately managed GPDoc document service.

Shared files

Shared files are stored online and require a network connection. The online file authority supports live collaboration, participant presence, comments, suggestions, sharing roles, and synchronized save state.

If a connection is unavailable, do not assume that another collaborator can see the current local state. Reconnect and confirm the shared file before relying on a remote change or publishing action.

Private hosting

If your organization needs privately hosted shared files or a dedicated collaboration environment, contact support@gpdoc.io. Availability, deployment model, and operating responsibility need to be discussed for that environment.

Explicit online actions

Account authentication, live collaboration, provider import or export, managed AI, remote Git operations, sharing, and website publishing require the applicable online service.

Review sharing, export, GitHub, and publishing actions.
