# chat-attachment-workspace-path — Chat attachments become worker files

1. I start a normal task and attach a scanned PDF from the composer, the same way a user would paste or drop a file into chat.

2. When I send the prompt, OpenWork shows the attachment path in the same user turn, under the worker workspace inbox instead of a desktop-only data URL.

3. The uploaded scan is still the exact PDF bytes, and the path is a real file path a tool such as Docling can open; OpenWork has not done native OCR itself.
