How Pages stay up to date (and what they cannot do)

How this helps you

Knowing how refreshes and sharing work saves you from stale numbers and pages you cannot delete.

✦ Try it

Run the [page name] routine now and tell me what changed on the page.

What they did

Kacper Rutkiewicz explains the rules that trip people up. There are three kinds of Page: reports (the Bot digs into data you gave it), memos (written for someone else) and dashboards (numbers and statuses on one screen). You can edit a Page with your Bot in chat, or have it kept up to date by a scheduled routine. Opening a Page does not refresh it; the routine rewrites it and you open the same link. Toggles change what you see but anything typed into a page is not saved. You can ask the Bot to run the routine now for fresh numbers. At the time of his video, Pages could not be deleted, even by asking, and each Bot has its own library, so a CFO Bot's pages do not appear in the chief of staff's library. If you do not see Pages, update Grok Bot.

Who it's for: Anyone starting with Pages.

How to try it

Ask for the page, and say how often it should refresh.
Check the attached routine appears on that Bot.
When you need fresh data, say: run the [name] routine.
Build pages in the Bot whose library you want them in.

What to expect

The same link shows new numbers after the routine runs.

Common mistakes

Creating lots of test pages. They could not be deleted when Kacper recorded this.
Putting sensitive data on a page shared by link, for the same reason.
