Sharing chats
You can share a chat with selected members of your organisation or create a read-only snapshot link. Sharing appears only when the feature is enabled and you own the chat.
Share dialog with people access and a separate global link
Example instance with sample data. Available controls depend on your role and configuration.
Invite collaborators
- Open the chat.
- Open More actions and select Share.
- Under Invite people, search by name or email address.
- Choose a role:
- Can read: the person can read the full chat but cannot send messages.
- Can write: the person can read and send new messages.
- Select Invite.
Invitees gain access to the earlier and future history of that chat. Review older messages, file names, sources and tool output before inviting them.
Manage access
Under People with access, owners can change a person’s role or select Remove. The direct link at the top of the dialog works only for signed-in people who already have access.
Participants can use Leave chat in the title menu. People with read access see the chat as read-only.
Project members may also receive access to project chats through project sharing. Check the project settings before assuming the chat dialog shows every route to access.
Share a read-only snapshot
A Global link is a frozen, read-only copy for signed-in people in the same organisation who have the link. It does not automatically appear in their sidebar.
- Open Share.
- Under Global link, choose In 7 days, In 30 days or Never.
- Select Create link.
- Copy the generated link.
The snapshot contains the chat as it existed when captured. Later messages and edits appear only after you select Refresh snapshot. Attachments remain locked: a file name may be shown, but the file cannot be downloaded from the snapshot.
Under Active global links, review expiry and view count. You can copy, refresh or Revoke a link. Revoked or expired links no longer open the snapshot.
Check before sharing
- Remove content the audience should not see, or share a cleaned-up new chat.
- Access removal cannot retrieve copies, screenshots or information already read.
- Personal memory is not shared as a list. Content already present in an answer remains part of the visible chat.
- Downloaded or exported content is governed by your organisation’s handling rules.
Troubleshooting

|---|---|
| Share is missing from More actions | You may not own the chat, or sharing may be disabled. |
| A person cannot be found | Check their name or email address and whether their account is active. |
| A snapshot does not open | The link may be wrong, expired or revoked. |
| New messages are absent from a snapshot | The owner must Refresh snapshot or create a new link. |
| You cannot write | Your role is probably Can read. |
