# Push & pull

Hub is the bridge between AI-generated charts and the surfaces where you deliver work.

## Push

**Push** sends a live Chartbuddy chart out of Hub to another surface:

* Google Slides (native editor)
* Notion, Slack, email (as Chartbuddy PNG)
* Other destinations (expanding)

Charts stay alive where the destination supports native Chartbuddy editing (Slides today; PowerPoint soon).

## Pull

**Pull** brings a Chartbuddy chart back into Hub so you can edit it again:

1. Find a Chartbuddy PNG or chart artifact on another surface
2. Click and hold, drag to Hub, release
3. The chart becomes editable in the desktop app

Surfaces with a native Chartbuddy editor (Google Slides, PowerPoint) do not need pull-back — you edit there directly.

## When to use Hub vs Slides

| Scenario | Surface |
|----------|---------|
| Prompting from AI, quick iteration | Hub |
| Final deck in Google Workspace | Google Slides extension |
| Chart arrived as PNG in Slack/Notion | Pull into Hub |
