Each run creates a new document. The Cloud version imports the file before generating its title, so the document remains in Craft if the model step fails. The on-device version generates the title first.
On-device: Get Text from Input → Use Model → Set Variable → Create Document. The model generates Generated Title, which becomes the new document’s title.Cloud: Get Text from Input → Get Name → Create Document → Use Model → Rename Document. Create Document saves the document with its filename first, then Rename Document replaces the title with the model’s Response. Creating the document only opens it if Open App is on; the default is off.Both prompts request a concise title on one line and use the source’s main heading when suitable. They do not ask the model to rewrite the document content.Craft actions: Create Document and Rename Document.
