Allow adding Library files directly to Projects

ChatGPT Feature requests

I’d like to share feedback about the current workflow between Library and Projects in ChatGPT.

The Library is useful as a place to store files created by ChatGPT, but at the moment there does not seem to be a direct way to add a file from Library into a Project as project knowledge/material. This creates an unnecessary extra step: I need to download the file manually and then upload it again into the Project.

A smoother workflow would be to allow actions such as:

“Add this file to Project”

“Save to Project”

“Use this Library file as Project knowledge”

“Move/copy from Library to Project”

This would make Projects much more useful as a real workspace, especially for longer-term work where ChatGPT generates reports, notes, markdown files, summaries, drafts, or technical documentation that should stay attached to a specific project.

Right now, Library and Projects feel like separate areas that should be connected but are not fully integrated. Being able to promote a Library file directly into a Project would remove friction and make the workflow much closer to how users naturally work with persistent documents.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. I can definitely see why this feels like unnecessary friction.

Your suggestion to let users add a Library file directly into a Project as project knowledge makes a lot of sense, especially for longer running projects where reports, notes, drafts, and documentation are generated inside ChatGPT and naturally belong with that project's context.

I've shared this feedback with the team so it can be logged and considered for future improvements. The examples you included, like "Add this file to Project", "Save to Project", and "Use this Library file as Project knowledge", are especially helpful because they clearly describe the workflow you're looking for.

Really appreciate you taking the time to explain the use case. Feedback like this helps highlight where the current experience can be made more seamless.
