An HTML artifact is a standalone, styled web page (.html) that Addison builds from your data — a data narrative, a one-page report, or a visual summary with charts and KPI cards. It’s a second-class artifact: a file in your project rather than a native Summation document, but it renders in a full in-app viewer and downloads as a single self-contained .html file.
A styled HTML report titled 'London 2012 at a Glance.html' rendered in Summation's in-app viewer under a 'My Project' breadcrumb. A dark hero reads 'The London Games at a glance.' above a row of KPI stat cards (Countries 205, Athletes 10,502, Sports 32, Events 302, Medals 1,941), followed by a 'The medal table.' section with a horizontal bar chart titled 'Top 10 nations by gold — 2012' comparing gold and total medals for the United States, Russia, Great Britain, China and other nations. The top-right toolbar shows a shield icon and a ⋯ menu button.

What Addison builds

HTML artifacts are finished, presentation-ready pages:
  • Self-contained — one .html file with its styling and charts inline, nothing external to load
  • Template-driven — editorial, light, and dark themes via Addison’s html-template-* skills
  • Optionally workbook-traced — with the workbook-report skill, every number traces cell-by-cell to an auditable Excel workbook

​
Create

Ask Addison in a chat for the page or report you want, or produce one by running a playbook. Addison writes the .html into your project and opens it in the viewer.

​
Open and view

Open the file to render the full styled page in the in-app viewer. It shows exactly what the downloaded .html contains.

​
Versions

Each save adds a version. Open Versions in the ⋯ menu to see and switch between earlier versions of the page.

​
Manage as a file

An HTML artifact is an ordinary file in your project, so every file operation applies — move it between folders, copy it to another project, duplicate it, or delete it.
From the ⋯ menu in the top bar (or the file’s row in the project file list): Rename, Share, Styles, Verification, Download as HTML, Versions, or Delete.

​
Promote to a first-class artifact

HTML pages already support verification on their own, but a common flow is still to start with an HTML page and then have Addison rebuild it as a first-class artifact — an interactive dashboard, a presentation deck, or a verified report. The native document gains full data citations and a dedicated home in the app.

Dashboards

Turn the page into interactive charts and KPIs.

Decks

Turn the content into a presentation.

Reports

Turn the narrative into a verified written report.
