Kimi Work makes file handoff more direct: start from Share, then check the original

On September 14, 2026, Kimi Work 3.2.9 added ways to receive external files. For supported formats, send a file to Kimi through a sharing menu in apps such as WeChat, or right-click a file and choose to open it with Kimi. Uploaded files and files referenced with @ can also be clicked to preview them in the right-hand workbench.

The change is concrete: start with the file already in your hands, then tell the AI what to do. You do not always have to open the assistant first, create a conversation and search through downloaded files again.

This is an update to desktop Kimi Work. It does not establish identical entries on the web, for every format or in every operating-system menu. Check your client version and whether the file is supported. Being able to open it does not mean the AI has read it correctly.

Less moving material between apps

Imagine a community volunteer sends you an updated activity plan. You want to confirm the meeting time, location and what to bring. Saving the attachment into Downloads and then uploading it to an assistant can mix “draft,” “revised” and “final” files together.

Starting from the file you have just received reduces that search. It does not replace version checks: files with the same name can differ, and a forwarded attachment may already be out of date. Inspect the name, date and key passages before asking the assistant to organize information.

Try a small task with a clear check: “Use only this file to list the meeting time, meeting location and items to bring. Give the source location for each item. Mark missing details as ‘not specified’; do not fill them in.” This helps you read with a purpose instead of mistaking a fluent summary for a complete notice.

The path suits people who frequently move material between chat apps, folders and assistants. For a two-line notice, reading the original may be simpler. A convenient sharing entry also does not change existing rules about uploading internal material.

The sharing, opening and preview entries in the release notes can form one file-checking task. The Kimi Work overview also explains local attachments, file references and workspace authorization.

1. Choose the right material. Keep the original and test with one activity plan you are authorized to process. Check its date and version. Do not begin with an entire folder or include unrelated personal information.
2. Use an entry that actually exists. Look for Kimi in the app’s sharing menu, or check whether the file’s right-click menu supports opening it with Kimi. Use whichever is available. If neither appears, use Work’s attachment entry for a supported file; do not treat a third-party tutorial’s menu as your current interface.
3. Preview before giving the task. Check the attachment name and open the right-side preview to confirm the file and key passage. Resolve unsupported formats, blank previews or incorrect versions before asking the assistant to infer content.
4. Specify the extraction. Ask for time, location and items to bring, with original locations and explicit gaps. If you want edits or rewriting, define that scope separately and use a copy. Receiving a file is different from permission to modify a whole folder.
5. Check each item in the original. Open or find the cited locations and verify that the meaning has not changed. If the location is missing, ask the organizer instead of accepting an AI-generated address. Forward the list yourself after checking it; generating text does not send a notification.

The result should be a list tied to the correct version, with clear gaps and facts you can check individually. Getting the file into the assistant is the starting point; judging the result still requires the file itself.
