# Sharing a chat

> Keep a chat private, share it with your organization, or make it public with a read-only link.

Every chat has a **privacy level** that controls who can see it. You can keep a conversation to yourself, open it to your organization, or make it public with a shareable link. Shared views are always read-only and show only the conversation itself — never your private account details.

## Privacy levels

    Only you can see the chat. This is the default.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Organization" icon="building">
    Any member of your organization can view the conversation.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Public" icon="globe">
    Anyone with the link can view the conversation.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

Setting a chat to **Organization** or **Public** produces a shareable link you can send out. **Private** chats aren't viewable by anyone else, and their links don't reveal anything.

## What a shared view shows

A shared link opens a **read-only** view of the conversation transcript — user and assistant messages, cited sources, images, whether memory was used, and delegated-agent IDs when present. It never exposes private details like credits, token usage, tool history, or operational metadata.

    User and assistant messages, cited sources, images, the `memoryUsed` indicator, and delegated-agent IDs when present.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's never shown" icon="eye-slash">
    Credits, token usage, tool history, and private account or operational data.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  For a long shared conversation, the shared view shows the **most recent messages** — the freshest part of the exchange — so viewers land on what matters most without scrolling through the entire history.
</Note>

## Continuing from a shared chat

Anyone viewing a shared chat can **fork** it into their own private chat and keep going from where it left off. The original stays untouched, and the new conversation is entirely theirs — a great way to build on someone else's work without changing it.

<Warning>
  A **Public** chat is visible to anyone who has the link. Only share transcripts you're comfortable being seen — once a link is out, anyone holding it can open the conversation.
</Warning>
