The Editing Loop

First drafts from Work are good; the editing loop is where they become yours. Three techniques carry most of it. Scoped edits: select a section (or name a slide) and ask for a focused change — "tighten this section; leave everything else untouched." The artifact updates in place instead of regenerating, which preserves everything you already approved. On mobile, this works by voice: open the doc, tap the mic, and talk through your changes.

Reference files: to match your team's house style, don't describe it — attach it. "Follow the structure and style of this deck" transfers fonts, density, tone, and slide order in one move. And once an artifact is exactly right, the template creator skill turns it into a reusable template, so next quarter's version starts from your standard instead of from scratch.

Round-tripping matters for teams: export to Google Docs or Sheets when collaborators need to comment in their own tools. The pattern that emerges — generate broadly, edit narrowly, templatize what works — is the same loop programmers use with code agents, applied to office files.
