Sharing
Share a space with your team without oversharing
A space link lets anyone who has it chat and add content. What that means in practice, and what to do if a link reaches the wrong people.
Sharing a space is one link: no invitations and no accounts for the people you share with. That makes it fast to bring someone in. It also means the link itself is the key, so it's worth knowing exactly what it unlocks.
What someone with the link can do
- Ask questions and get answers from everything in the space.
- Add their own notes, files and links.
- Remove the sources they added themselves.
What stays private
- Chat history. Each person sees only their own conversations, not anyone else's questions.
- Owner controls. Only the owner can reset the link or delete the space.
Four habits for safe sharing
- Share in a private channel. Send the link by direct message or email, not in a public post or a large group chat.
- Put in only what everyone may see. Anyone with the link can read every source. If one file is sensitive, keep it in a separate space.
- Make one space per audience. A client space and an internal space can hold different material on the same project.
- Sign in to own your spaces. As a guest, ownership is tied to your browser. Signing in keeps it safe if you clear your cookies or switch devices.
If a link reaches the wrong people
Open the space and use Share to reset the link. The old link stops working straight away. Then send the new link to the people who should have it.
Resetting stops future access. It can't undo what someone already read, so remove anything sensitive and treat it as seen.
