Sharing a chat

What it is

Every chat can become a link. The share is a snapshot, not a live view — anyone with the link sees the chat as it was when you shared it, and messages you send afterwards stay private unless you share again.

Visibility depends on your plan:

• Free / Pro / Max — Public (anyone with the link) or Private.
• Team / Enterprise — sharing is limited to other members of the same organisation. Public links aren’t available.

Where to find it

On desktop

• Open the chat, then Share in the upper right. The control lives in the conversation header, not in the window chrome.

On the web

• Open the chat, then Share in the upper right of the conversation header — next to Files.

How to use it

Share a chat

1. Open the chat you want to share.
2. Click Share.
3. Set the visibility — Public if you want a link anyone can open, otherwise leave it Private. On Team and Enterprise the choice is scoped to your organisation.
4. Copy the link and send it.

Unshare or revoke a link

1. Go to Settings → Privacy.
2. Find the Shared chats row and click Manage.
3. Click Unshare next to the chat you want to revoke.

Sharing it again generates a fresh snapshot with whatever’s in the chat at that point.

Good to know

• It’s a snapshot. Messages added after you share aren’t in the shared version. Unshare and share again to update it.
• Shared artifacts are managed separately. Settings → Privacy carries its own Shared artifacts row with its own Manage button, so revoking a chat doesn’t revoke an artifact you published from it.
• Check for sensitive content before sharing. A shared chat carries everything in the conversation — attachments, code, credentials.

What’s changed recently

• 2026-09-13 — The drift note left on this page in July is resolved: Share lives in the conversation header, in the upper right of an open chat, not in the window chrome — confirmed on claude.ai and backed by the help centre. The unshare path (Settings → Privacy → Shared chats → Manage) is confirmed on both platforms, which also surfaced a separate Shared artifacts row alongside it. One caveat worth stating: we haven’t checked the desktop Share button inside an open conversation ourselves, so the desktop half is documented from the help centre and from claude.ai.
• 2026-04-22 — Web coverage verified. Visibility options are plan-dependent.
