Shared chats
Sharing a chat with others in your organization via a link, forking a shared chat into your own, and the read-only banner the viewer sees.
2 min read
Sharing a chat creates a link that anyone in your organization can open. The viewer sees the full transcript in read-only mode; they cannot reply, but they can fork the chat into one of their own and continue from there. The mechanic is light enough to use casually — share a question and its answer the way you would share a document.
This page covers the sharing surface end to end: enabling sharing, who the link works for, the read-only view, and the fork gesture that turns "I want to follow up" into a new chat.
Sharing a chat
Open More actions on a chat in History and click Share chat. The dialog offers Enable sharing as a toggle and, once enabled, Copy link. Paste the link into the channel your team uses. Anyone in your organization with the link can view this chat — the link is scoped to the org, not the wider internet. Disabling sharing later invalidates the link; visitors land on a not-found page.
What the viewer sees
The viewer opens the link and lands on the chat with a banner: You are viewing a shared chat in read-only mode. The transcript reads exactly as the author sees it, including tool calls and citations. The composer is replaced with a single hint — Sending a message will create your own copy of this chat — that is the only path forward.
Forking a shared chat
The viewer's only write action on a shared chat is Fork this chat. The fork creates a new chat owned by the viewer, with the full transcript copied across as context. The original is unchanged; the fork has no link back to the original beyond the messages it inherits. From the viewer's side the fork is now an ordinary chat — sticky agent picks, model picks, and tools all behave as they would in any chat the viewer started themselves.
When the link goes stale
Disabling sharing invalidates the link. Deleting the source chat sends it to Trash and the link breaks; restoring the chat from Trash does not restore the link — the author re-enables sharing if it is needed again. Existing forks are unaffected by either action because they are independent chats.
Where this fits
Shared chats are the lightweight way to hand a chat to a teammate without leaving the product. The heavier-weight alternative is bringing the teammate into a Project where chats, files, and agents are shared by default. Sharing is for one-off handoffs; a Project is for ongoing collaboration on the same work.
