Share a chat link
Generate a public URL for any chat thread. Visitors see the conversation and citations without a docAnalyzer account.
Share links turn any chat thread into a read-only public URL. Useful when you want to show a colleague the answer you got, send a client the analysis they asked for, or attach the conversation to a ticket without copy-pasting.
What visitors see
When someone opens the share link, they see:
- The full chat thread (every turn, every answer).
- The source documents in the viewer, with citation deep links working as they would for you.
- Any artifacts produced during the chat, downloadable by the viewer.
They don't see:
- Other documents in your workspace.
- Your account or workspace information beyond what's in the chat.
- The ability to add to or modify the conversation.

Access options
| Option | What it does | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Anyone with the URL can view | Default: visitors don't need an account |
| Password-protected | URL requires the password to open | Sensitive content, controlled distribution |
| Expiring | URL stops working after the date you set | Time-bounded sharing |
You can combine options (password + expiry).
Revoking a share
Open the chat → share menu → Revoke. The URL stops working immediately. Visitors who had the chat open continue to see what they already loaded, but reloading will fail.
Share link vs. Chatbot
These look similar at first but do different things:
| Share link | Chatbot |
|---|---|
| Shows an existing chat thread, read-only | An interactive chat widget visitors can use |
| One conversation captured | A standing surface visitors can ask new questions on |
| Good for: showing someone a specific result | Good for: embedding a Q&A surface on your site |
If you want visitors to ask their own questions, see Embed a chatbot.
