Sharing Conversations

AI Chat allows you to share conversations with other members of your organization. You can grant read-only access for review purposes or full collaboration access that lets others contribute messages to the conversation.

Permission Levels

AI Chat supports two permission levels for shared conversations:

• View — Recipients can read the entire conversation, including all messages and branches, but cannot add new messages or modify existing content.
• Collaborate — Recipients can read the conversation and add their own messages. This is useful for team problem-solving or collaborative analysis sessions.

How to Share a Conversation

1. Open the conversation you want to share.
2. Click the Share icon in the conversation header.
3. In the Share Conversation dialog, configure access at the organization or group level.

Organization-Wide Access

To share with everyone in your organization:

1. Check Anyone in the organization can view to grant view access to all organization members.
2. Optionally check Allow collaboration (edit messages) to upgrade the permission from view-only to collaborate.

Group Access

To share with specific groups:

1. In the Group Access section, use the Add groups dropdown to select one or more groups.
2. For each group, choose the permission level using the dropdown next to the group name:
   • View only — Members of the group can read the conversation.
   • Can collaborate — Members of the group can read and add messages.
3. To remove a group's access, click the trash icon next to the group entry.

After configuring the desired permissions, click Save to apply the changes.

Accessing Shared Conversations

Conversations that have been shared with you appear in your conversation list. You can identify shared conversations by the presence of the share indicator. Depending on your permission level:

• View access — You can open and read the conversation but cannot send messages.
• Collaborate access — You can open the conversation and send messages as if it were your own.

Managing and Revoking Access

To modify or remove access for a shared conversation:

1. Open the conversation and click the Share icon.
2. Change permission levels using the dropdown next to each group.
3. Remove a group by clicking the trash icon.
4. Uncheck the organization-wide access checkbox to revoke access for the entire organization.
5. Click Save to apply changes.

Changes take effect immediately. Users who lose access will no longer see the conversation in their list.

Collaboration Tips

• Use branches for parallel exploration — When collaborating, each team member can create branches from the same message to explore different approaches without interfering with each other's work.
• Set clear permissions — Use view-only access for stakeholders who need to review progress and collaborate access for team members who need to actively contribute.
• Share with groups, not individuals — Sharing at the group level makes it easier to manage access as team membership changes.
