How to share a ChatGPT conversation with a link
Read the transcript

Here's how to share a ChatGPT conversation with a link, and how to take the link back. First, check the chat for private details. Anyone with the link can view it.

OpenAI says not to share health information, financial details, passwords or account numbers. Open the conversation and select Share. Look over the whole preview before you send anything.

Links are anonymous by default, but some older sharing screens can show your name. Select Create link or Copy link, whichever ChatGPT shows. Then send it.

A new link can take a moment to work. The link shows the chat as it was when you made it. New messages aren't added on their own.

To refresh it, select Share, then Update link. To remove links, open Settings, then Data controls. Next to Shared links, select Manage.

Delete one link, or open More actions to delete them all. Share the link. Delete it to stop access.

  1. Check the chat for private details

    Anyone who has the link can view the shared chat. Names and personal details you typed can show. OpenAI says not to share health information, financial details, passwords or account numbers.

  2. Open the conversation and select Share

    Open the chat you want to share and select Share. You can also use the share option on a single reply, when it is available. Sharing one reply can limit the link to that reply.

  3. Review the preview

    Look at the whole shared preview before you send the link. Links are anonymous by default, but some older sharing screens can show your name, so check what the preview says.

  4. Create and copy the link

    Select Create link or Copy link, depending on what ChatGPT shows. Send the link to the person. A new link can take a short moment to work, so if they see a loading state, ask them to try again.

  5. Update the link after the chat grows

    A link from a personal account shows the chat as it was when you made or last updated it. New messages are not added on their own. Open the conversation, select Share, then select Update link.

  6. Manage or delete your shared links

    Open Settings, then Data controls. Next to Shared links, select Manage. Select Delete shared link for one link, or open More actions and select Delete all shared links.

If it doesn’t work

The other person sees a loading screen
A new conversation link can take a short time to become available. Wait a moment and ask them to reload. Check that the link starts with https://chatgpt.com/share/.
The shared chat is missing my newest messages
A personal-account link shows the chat as it was when you created or updated it. Open the conversation, select Share, and select Update link.
I cannot share a chat from my work account
Links made in a Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace open only for members of that workspace. Workspace admins can also turn sharing off, so ask your admin.
I locked the chat but the link still works
Locking a chat does not delete an existing link. Delete the link on its own from Settings, then Data controls, then Shared links.

Questions people ask

Something we missed? Ask us.

What can the other person see in a shared ChatGPT conversation?

They can view the conversation as it was when you made the link. It can include replies, supported images and uploaded files. It does not give them access to your account, and links are anonymous by default.

Can the other person continue the chat?

They can continue it in their own account. That creates a separate private conversation for them, and your original stays as it is.

Can I limit a link to certain people?

No. Personal-account links work for anyone who has the link, and there is no expiry date you can set. Delete the link when you want to stop access.

What happens if I delete the shared link or the chat?

Deleting the link stops future access but keeps your chat. Deleting the chat removes its link. Neither removes a copy someone already saved.

How do I share a chat as a file instead of a link?

Download or copy the chat and send the file. See how to export a ChatGPT conversation to PDF, which uses the Kortex extension.
