Step-by-step guide

Find generated files in GuroAssist

Files workspace keeps generated outputs, saved folder details, and local open actions together so teachers can find files without guessing.

Teacher goal

How do I find and review generated files after they are created?

Use this guide when this is the task in front of you. Stop if the selected class, learner, role, school year, file, or output does not match.

In-app path

  1. Files

Get ready

Check the starting point

These are the minimum conditions for the workflow to make sense.

Before you start

Estimated time: About 5–10 minutes

  • A generated or saved file from a supported GuroAssist workflow
  • The local folder or drive where the file should remain
  • Time to open the actual file before using or sharing it

You should see

Selecting a generated file reveals its local status, format, file name, and the available Open or Show in folder actions.

Steps

Complete the task in order

Review choice points, save or preview behavior, and any stop condition before continuing.

  1. Files workspace with local output history, filters, and file-detail area.View full size
    Sample data only. Files is the device-local index for generated outputs. Captured July 12, 2026.

    Step 1

    Open Files and let the history load

    Choose Files in the main navigation. Confirm the workspace shows local generated-output history for this device before searching or filtering.

    Expected result: Files is the device-local index for generated outputs.

  2. Files workspace with search and filters visible and no output selected.View full size
    Sample data only. Search and filters narrow the local history before selection. Captured July 12, 2026.

    Step 2

    Search and filter without assuming a missing file was deleted

    Use the search box and available type, source, class, or date filters. Clear filters when nothing appears, because an empty filtered result is not proof that the local file is gone.

    Expected result: Search and filters narrow the local history before selection.

  3. Selected PDF output with file identity, source, time, local path, and actions.View full size
    Sample data only. The detail pane distinguishes the intended file from similarly named outputs. Captured July 12, 2026.

    Step 3

    Select the exact output and read its details

    Select one row and verify its name, output type, source tool, class or subject context, created time, and local path. Similar filenames can represent different classes, terms, versions, or drafts.

    Expected result: The detail pane distinguishes the intended file from similarly named outputs.

  4. Files workspace with Weekly lesson plan - moved file selected, Missing from disk status, and unavailable local actions.View full size
    Sample data only. The health state explains why the history row exists but the actual file cannot be opened. Captured July 12, 2026.

    Step 4

    Resolve a file that is missing from disk

    If the selected row says Missing from disk, do not keep retrying Open or Preview. Check the displayed filename and saved location, use the source tool to regenerate when appropriate, or restore the file from a trusted backup; the local history row can remain after an external move or deletion.

    Expected result: The health state explains why the history row exists but the actual file cannot be opened.

  5. Rendered second page of an actual generated weekly lesson-plan PDF using fictional class content.View full size
    Sample data only. Opening the actual file reveals page flow and formatting that the Files row alone cannot prove. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 5

    Inspect content and formatting before use

    Review every PDF page, Word page, spreadsheet sheet, slide, image, or packet member that will be used. Check learner and class identity, dates, official-readiness labels, page breaks, formulas, answer leakage, and clipping.

    Expected result: Opening the actual file reveals page flow and formatting that the Files row alone cannot prove.

  6. Rendered page from an actual Test Builder local review packet with fictional assessment content.View full size
    Sample data only. Packet review includes every included document before the teacher returns to the source tool to correct it. Captured July 11, 2026.

    Step 6

    Inspect packet members and regenerate from the source

    For a bundle or packet, open every member rather than checking only the first file. If identity, layout, content, or answer separation is wrong, return to the source named in Files, correct the source, and generate a new output; do not rename an incorrect file to make it appear current.

    Expected result: Packet review includes every included document before the teacher returns to the source tool to correct it.

Review

Check these before relying on the work

These checks cover saved, previewed, generated, and teacher-review states.

  • Correct output selected

    The chosen file should match the class, source, type, and date the teacher expects.

  • Readiness label is honest

    Check whether the output is local, draft, final, official-ready, or blocked before relying on it.

  • Actual file is opened

    Do not rely only on the row details. Open the file and review its contents before classroom or school use.

  • Local folder is known

    The saved folder should be on a device or drive the teacher controls.

  • Backup is current

    Back up important generated files before moving laptops, cleanup work, or reinstalling GuroAssist.

File status

Understand what each output label means

The label describes readiness inside GuroAssist; it does not create outside approval.

Local
Saved on this device for teacher use.
Draft
Still needs teacher review or editing.
Final
The teacher marked the local work final after review.
Official-ready
GuroAssist readiness checks passed; this is not DepEd approval or submission.
Review-only
Useful for checking, but not an official-ready output.
Blocked
Stop and resolve the displayed readiness issue first.

Blocked states and recovery

Fix the blocker before continuing

Use the direct recovery action when GuroAssist is waiting for setup, data, access, policy, or file readiness.

  • No generated files yet

    Generate or save a supported output before Files can show a history row.

    After recovery: The blocker is no longer shown, and the intended next action is available for teacher review.

    Review generated-file help
  • File was moved or deleted

    If the saved file is missing, use the folder details and backups before generating again.

    After recovery: The backup or restore summary shows the intended local workspace and a clear success or recovery state.

    Open backup and restore help
  • Output is blocked

    Complete missing class, learner, template, grade, or readiness details before relying on official-looking output.

    After recovery: The intended class appears in the workspace header and the task uses that class.

    Review roster help
  • Open action is unavailable

    Some generated-file actions may need Paid access or an available local app for that file type.

    After recovery: Paid access and any required credits are shown as available for this action.

    Open activation help

Safety note

Files workspace is local output history. Generated files stay on the teacher's device unless the teacher chooses to share them, and teachers should open the actual file before using it.

Finish

Verify the result

Do not treat a saved screen or generated filename as proof that the work is ready.

You’re done when

Selecting a generated file reveals its local status, format, file name, and the available Open or Show in folder actions.
