# File Context Feature
|
|
|
|
QodeAssist provides two powerful ways to include source code files in your chat conversations: Attachments and Linked Files. Each serves a distinct purpose and helps provide better context for the AI assistant.
|
|
|
|
## Attached Files
|
|
|
|
Attachments are designed for one-time code analysis and specific queries:
|
|
- Files are included only in the current message
|
|
- Content is discarded after the message is processed
|
|
- Ideal for:
|
|
- Getting specific feedback on code changes
|
|
- Code review requests
|
|
- Analyzing isolated code segments
|
|
- Quick implementation questions
|
|
- Files can be attached using the paperclip icon in the chat interface
|
|
- Multiple files can be attached to a single message
|
|
|
|
## Linked Files
|
|
|
|
Linked files provide persistent context throughout the conversation:
|
|
|
|
- Files remain accessible for the entire chat session
|
|
- Content is included in every message exchange
|
|
- Files are automatically refreshed - always using latest content from disk
|
|
- Perfect for:
|
|
- Long-term refactoring discussions
|
|
- Complex architectural changes
|
|
- Multi-file implementations
|
|
- Maintaining context across related questions
|
|
- Can be managed using the link icon in the chat interface
|
|
- Supports automatic syncing with open editor files (can be enabled in settings)
|
|
- Files can be added/removed at any time during the conversation
