My Desk
Keep private notebooks, write and dictate in them, and decide what leaves your desk: a task, a Library document or a discussion.
My Desk is your private writing room: a notebook-style page for thinking and drafting before anything is shared. Everything you write here is private by default. Nobody else sees your notebooks, and agents cannot open them. Nothing leaves the desk until you choose. This page shows you how to write, and how to turn what you wrote into work.
