+> [!NOTE]
+> This feature is currently in {% data variables.release-phases.public_preview %} and subject to change.
+
+When you ask a question, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} may generate one or more files as part of its response. In the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_chat_short %} panel, the files are displayed inline, within the chat response. In immersive view (that is, at [https://github.com/copilot](https://github.com/copilot)), the generated files are displayed in a side panel. You can view the files in the panel, or download them to your computer.
+
+For example, asking `Generate a simple calculator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript` may generate multiple files, such as `index.html`, `styles.css`, and `script.js`.
