Writing blocks and code blocks in the chat replaced it. Pages in ChatGPT Space are available on Pro, Business and Enterprise plans. ### Does Display write or rewrite the draft like Canvas? No. Display includes no AI model. You write in ChatGPT or another agent. On Display, people comment on any line, and people with edit access change the text on the page. For an AI rewrite, your agent publishes the next version at the same URL. ### How do I move a ChatGPT draft to Display? Ask ChatGPT to give you the draft as a Markdown file. In Display, select Create, then Upload file, and choose the file. The doc gets its own URL and stays private until you share it. ### What does the Free plan include? One Editor or Contributor, 3 docs behind sign-in, unlimited public docs, unlimited Viewers and Commenters, and 50 MB of storage. Each file can be up to 10 MB. No card needed. Paid plans start at $12 a month, billed monthly. ### Can ChatGPT publish to Display directly? Yes, on ChatGPT Business and Enterprise on the web, when the ChatGPT admin allows developer mode. On other ChatGPT plans, upload the file. Cursor, Codex, Claude Code and any other agent publish through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. ### Can I edit a draft after I publish it? Yes. People with edit access select Edit and change the doc right on the page. Your agent can also publish the next version at the same URL. Each save or publish adds a new version. On Solo and higher plans, you can open and restore earlier versions. One person edits at a time. Real-time editing is planned. ### Who can open a doc? A new doc is private by default. You can share it with people and groups, open it to everyone in your company, or make it public. People sign in with a one-time password before a private or company doc opens. Solo and higher plans add Google and Microsoft sign-in. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in, for example with Okta. ### Is Display open source? No. “Open” means three things. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you choose can open a doc without a seat. You can download the source file of any doc at any time. ## Give your ChatGPT drafts their own URL Write in ChatGPT. Your team opens, comments on and edits each draft at one URL. Display also works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown.
