Share a chat and delete chats
Share a chat as a read only link, branch it, rename or delete chats, and answers to common chat questions.
#What it is
Share makes a link to a read only copy of a chat. You can also rename a chat, move it into a project, branch it, and delete it.
#Who can use it
Everyone. The code does not limit sharing or deleting by plan.
#Cost
Free, no credits. Sharing, renaming, branching and deleting never use credits.
#Where to find it
- Share: top right of an open chat. It shows once the chat has a message.
- Rename, move and delete: the three dots next to a chat in the chat sidebar, or the chat name at the top of the chat.

#How to share a chat
- Open the chat. Send at least one message first.
- Click Share. The link is created and copied for you.
- The window says "Anyone with the link can read this chat and continue it in their own copy. Messages you send after sharing are not included."
- Click Copy link to copy it again, then send it to people.
#How to continue a shared chat
- Open the link.
- Read the chat. Research cards, sources and documents show as they were.
- Click Continue this chat. Your own copy opens, and your replies go into it.
#How to rename a chat
- Double click the chat title, or open the three dots and click Rename.
- Type the new name and press Enter.
#How to delete a chat
- Open the three dots next to the chat and click Delete. Or click the chat name at the top and choose Delete.
- Confirm "Delete this chat? This can't be undone."
- A reply that was still being written is stopped.
#How to branch a chat
- Under a reply, click Branch to new chat.
- A new chat opens with the conversation up to that message. The original is unchanged.
#Options explained
What a share link holds. A copy of the chat at the moment you clicked Share. Replies that failed are left out. Messages you send later are not included. Click Share again to make a newer copy.
Who can open it. Anyone with the link, without signing in. They cannot edit your chat. Treat the link as public: anyone you give it to can pass it on.
Stopping a share. The app has no button to turn a link off. To remove one, delete the chat: the shared copy is deleted with it.
Delete and projects. Deleting a chat in a project removes only that chat. Deleting a whole project removes all its chats. See chat projects.
#Limits
- A chat name can be up to 120 characters.
- Share needs a saved chat, so send a message first.

#Questions
#Can I undo a delete?
No. A deleted chat cannot be brought back.
#Does deleting a chat delete its documents?
Yes. Artifacts live with the chat they came from. Save the file with Export first if you need it.
#Will people see my Brand Brain or memories if I share?
No. A share holds the messages, research cards, sources and documents of that chat. It does not hold your memories or Brand Brain.
#Can I share only part of a chat?
Not directly. Use Branch to new chat on the message you want to stop at, then share the new chat.
#Why does my shared copy miss my newest messages?
A share is a copy from the moment you clicked Share. Click Share again for a new link.
#Do I lose credits when I delete chats?
No. Credits are used when a reply is made, not kept in the chat.
