OpenAI says that a link made in a Business, Enterprise or Edu workspace opens only for members of that workspace. On ChatGPT Business, a person outside the workspace goes to the ChatGPT home page and sees a message that they do not have access. A link from a personal account opens for anyone who has the link. ### We already pay for ChatGPT. Why add Display? Keep ChatGPT to write the work. On Business and Enterprise, a ChatGPT shared link opens only for members of your ChatGPT workspace. Publish the report to Display, and clients and colleagues without a ChatGPT seat open it. Viewers are free on every Display plan. ### Does my client need a Display seat or account? No, the client needs no seat. Invite the client by email to a doc or a folder. To open the doc, they enter a one-time password. To comment, give them the Commenter role. They then need a Display account with a verified email. They do not join your organization. ### How do I publish a ChatGPT report or a deep research result to Display? Download the deep research report as Markdown, then publish the file to Display in your browser. For other answers, ask ChatGPT to write the result as a Markdown or HTML file. On ChatGPT Business and Enterprise on the web, an admin or owner can also [connect Display to ChatGPT](/docs/mcp-chatgpt) as a custom app. Then ChatGPT publishes from the conversation. Word and PDF import are planned. ### What does the Free plan include? One editor, 3 gated docs, unlimited public docs, unlimited viewers and 50 MB of storage. No card needed. Solo costs $12 a month and adds unlimited gated docs, version history and Google and Microsoft sign-in. ### Does the reader see my prompts or the rest of the conversation? No. Display holds the doc that you publish. The conversation stays in ChatGPT. ### Does Display use my content to train AI models? No. We do not use customer content to train or fine-tune any AI or machine-learning model. ### Is Display open source? No. Display is a hosted service. Any agent can publish to Display. Anyone you invite can open a doc without a seat. The file stays as your agent made it, and you can download the source at any time. ## Send your next ChatGPT report to a client Publish the report to Display and invite the client by email.
