How to share a Claude chat, project or artifact

Updated 11 November 2026

Claude can share three different things, and each works a little differently depending on your plan. Pick what you want to share to see where the button is, who can open it and what they'll see.

How to share a Claude chat

A shared chat is a snapshot: the person sees the conversation as it was when you shared it. There are two ways to share one.

With a link anyone can open (Free, Pro, Max and Ultra):

1. Open the chat on claude.ai and click Share at the top right.
2. Create the link in the menu that opens, then copy it.
3. Send it. Anyone with the link can read the chat without signing in to Claude, but they can't reply or carry it on.

With specific people (every plan, on claude.ai; the mobile apps can't do this yet):

1. Click Share, then type their email addresses under People with access and click Send.
2. Each person gets an email with your name, the chat's title and a link that only works for their address, so forwarding it doesn't give anyone else access.
3. They open it signed in to Claude with that same email. A free account is enough, and the invite takes them to sign-up with the address filled in. If they sign in with a different email, they'll be told they need access.

Invites show as pending until they're opened and expire after 30 days if nobody does. There's also a daily limit on how many you can send.

What a shared chat includes:

• Included: every message up to the moment you shared, including any artifacts in it, and your name if you invited them.
• Not included: messages you send afterwards, files you attached, and the raw data from connectors and tools. Only Claude's final answer from a tool shows.
• To show newer messages, click Update shared chat. That replaces the snapshot for everyone who has it.
• What they can't do: continue the chat, copy it into their own account or download your files.

On Team and Enterprise plans, you can only invite people with an email on your organization's domain, or set General access to everyone at your organization. Public links aren't available, and admins can turn chat sharing off or review what's been shared.

Is a shared Claude chat link private?

Treat it as public, which is also what Anthropic advises. Shared chat pages ask search engines not to index them, aren't listed anywhere, and use a long random address that nobody will guess. But anyone you send the link to can forward it or post it, archive sites can keep copies, and not every crawler respects the request not to index. A public link can't be limited to certain people. If you need that, invite people by email instead.

Check what's in the chat before you share it. A snapshot includes everything up to that point, including any figures from connected accounts that appear in messages, responses or charts.

How to stop sharing a chat

• One chat: open its Share menu and switch it from Public to Private, or click Turn off to stop sharing with everyone. To remove one invited person, take them off the People with access list.
• Every chat at once (personal plans): go to Settings → Privacy → Shared chats → Manage. It lists each chat you've shared with its date and link, and an Unshare button.
• Delete the chat and the shared snapshot goes with it.

The link stops working straight away, but copies or screenshots people already made aren't affected. If a link was posted publicly and turns up in Google, Google's Remove Outdated Content tool can speed up taking it out of results.

How to share a Claude project

Project sharing is for Team and Enterprise plans, and only with people in your organization. On Free, Pro, Max and Ultra, share the individual chats or artifacts instead.

1. Open the project and click Share, to the right of the project's name.
2. Add people by name or email. You can paste a list of addresses at once.
3. Give each person a role. Can view lets them see the project's knowledge and instructions and start their own chats in it. Can edit also lets them change the instructions and knowledge and manage who has access.
4. Or change General access to everyone at your organization, which lists the project on your organization's tab for anyone to find.

Two things catch people out. Sharing a project doesn't share your chats in it, so share those one by one if people need them. And only someone with Can edit can remove people: click their role and choose Remove access. Enterprise plans can also share with a group, which is in beta.

How to share a Claude artifact

Artifacts, the documents, pages and apps Claude makes, are shared on their own, without the chat around them. Open the artifact and click Share:

• Pro, Max and Ultra: keep it to yourself, share it with anyone who has the link, or invite people by email (in beta).
• Team and Enterprise: only people you invite, everyone at your organization, or anyone with the link if an owner has allowed outside sharing.
• Outside viewers can open most artifacts by link without an account, but features that use connected apps or Claude itself won't work for them.

Artifacts made in a chat before 16 September 2026 have a Publish button instead. Our guide to what "Publish artifact" means covers both in detail.

Chat, project or artifact: which should you share?

Share the result, not the chat

A shared chat shows everything: your prompts, the drafts Claude threw away, and any notes to yourself about the person you're sending it to. That's fine for a colleague. For a client it can say more than you meant to. See what Jo gets each way:

Sharing just the artifact solves part of this, but the link is still on claude.ai, and outside viewers see Claude's "Content is user-generated and unverified" label instead of your name. To send a page that looks like it came from you, publish it.

How to publish Claude's work as a page

On Pro, pages can live on your own domain, like docs.acme.com/q4-proposal. Every version is kept, and renaming a page keeps the old link working. See how DocPin works with Claude.
