The Pocket ​

The Pocket is your personal holding area for assets. Think of it as a clipboard that works across every tool and every group — you put things into it in one place and take them out somewhere else.

The Pocket is what makes Moss feel composable in everyday use. It's how a document from one tool ends up linked inside a chat message in another.

What's an asset? ​

An asset is anything one of your tools creates and can point to: a document, a chat thread, a task card, a calendar event, a whiteboard. Every asset has its own address — a Weave URL — so it can be referenced from anywhere, the same way a web page has a URL.

You don't have to think about Weave URLs directly. The Pocket handles them for you.

Opening the Pocket ​

There are two ways to open the Pocket:

  • Press Alt + S, or
  • Click the Pocket icon in the left sidebar.

The Pocket panel

A fresh Pocket is empty — it fills up as you add things.

Putting things into the Pocket ​

Watch for the Pocket icon on assets throughout Moss. Wherever you see one — in a tool, on an asset you're viewing — clicking it adds that asset to your Pocket.

The Pocket also has a Recently created section. Whenever you make something new in a tool, it shows up there automatically, so you can grab it without hunting for it.

Taking things out of the Pocket ​

Open the Pocket and you can:

  • Open an asset — click it to jump straight to it, wherever it lives.
  • Copy its link — copy the asset's Weave URL to share or paste elsewhere.
  • Drop it into another tool — this is the important one. Many tools accept an asset from your Pocket, so a chat message can reference a specific document, or a task card can point at a calendar event. This cross-tool linking is the Weave Interaction Pattern in action.

What a tool will accept depends on the tool. Not every tool can link to every kind of asset.

The Pocket is yours, and it's global ​

  • The Pocket spans all your groups and all your tools — it isn't scoped to one group.
  • It lives on your device. It's personal: other members of your groups have their own Pockets.
  • Items stay in the Pocket until you remove them. Use Clear Pocket to empty it.
