The version history lists four versions at the same URL. Claude Code published v1 for Ana Ruiz. ChatGPT published v2 for Ben Okafor. Priya Shah edited v3 on the page. Codex published v4 for Maya Lind. Version 4 answers Priya's comment “Can we split EMEA out?” ## Should I use ChatGPT Sites or Display? Use Display when a team must review a report, a document or a prototype. Any agent publishes the HTML or Markdown file, for example Codex, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor. Reviewers comment on the page. They open a private link with Google, Microsoft or a one-time password. ChatGPT Sites, which many people still call Codex Sites, needs ChatGPT Plus or a higher plan. A person you invite to a private Site signs in with a ChatGPT account. From 1 January 2027, OpenAI plans to charge for hosting usage above the plan allowance. Use ChatGPT Sites when you need an app that ChatGPT builds from a prompt, with a database, file storage and its own sign-in. ## ChatGPT Sites and Display, side by side Keep ChatGPT or Codex to write the file. Display is where your team reviews it, and reviewers need no ChatGPT account. | | ChatGPT Sites | Display | |---|---|---| | **Invite a reviewer who has no ChatGPT account** | No – ChatGPT sign-in needed | Yes – One-time password, any email | | **Free plan to publish** | No – Plus and higher | Yes – 3 docs behind sign-in | | **Comments on the page** | Not documented | Yes – On any line | | **Publish from Claude Code or Cursor** | Not documented | Yes – MCP, CLI or API | | **Builds the page from a prompt** | Yes | No – Your agent writes it | | **Database and app sign-in** | Yes | No – Apps are planned | | **Custom domain** | Yes – Where available | No – Planned | | **Version history** | Yes – Restores code only | Yes – From Solo | | **Public link, no sign-in** | Yes | Yes | Checked 12 November 2026.

Your team comments on the page. The agent reads the comments and publishes the next version at the same URL. ## Edit any document in-line. Fix any line right where you read it. 1. Select Edit on the page 2. Change it on the page 3. Save – the next version at the same URL ## Share each doc and Space with the right people A doc stays private until you share it. Then choose who can open it – one doc, a folder or a whole Space. - **Private by default** – Every doc stays private until you share it with people and groups. - **One-click sign-in for colleagues** – On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat. - **Invite people outside your company** – Invite clients and partners by email, and give each one a role: Viewer, Commenter, Contributor or Editor. - **Know who opened it** – On Team and Business, see who opened which doc, and when, before you follow up. ## ChatGPT Sites or Display? You can use both. ChatGPT Sites runs the app. Display holds the docs and prototypes that people review. ### Use ChatGPT Sites for - An app with a database, file storage and its own sign-in, for example a tracker or a request form. - A site or a tool that you build and change by prompt in ChatGPT. ### Use Display for - Private links for reviewers who have no ChatGPT account, in your company or outside it. - Reports, specs and prototypes that your team reviews before a decision. - HTML and Markdown from Codex, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or any other agent. - Comments on the page, and the next version at the same URL. > “We gave it to a few people, expecting the super users who’d been asking for a publishing platform. We didn’t realize the whole business would pick it up.” > > – Rory Powell, IT and AI Ops Manager, Kogan.com **Start with one project: $0.** Publish your first doc free. No card needed, and viewers stay free. [Start free](https://app.display.dev/) ## A full workspace behind every URL ### Spaces and folders A Space for every team, with folders inside and its own permissions. ### Search everything you can open You and your agents can search every doc you can open. ### Work across every agent and plan Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, on personal or company plans. One doc, one URL. ### Build internal apps (private beta) Develop applications that pull data from your sources. ### Connect your data sources (private beta) Pull data from the sources your team already uses. ## Before you use Display with ChatGPT ### We already pay for ChatGPT. Why add Display? ChatGPT Sites builds and hosts apps. Display is for the review. Any agent publishes the doc, teammates comment on the page, and reviewers need no ChatGPT account. Keep ChatGPT or Codex to write the file. Display has a Free plan. Solo is $12 a month and Team is $79 a month, billed monthly. ### Can people outside our company review a doc? Yes. Invite them by email to a doc or a folder in a Space, and give them the Commenter role. They sign in with a one-time password, Google or Microsoft, and they comment on the page. They do not join your organization. On ChatGPT Sites, an outside viewer that you invite signs in with a ChatGPT account. That viewer can open and use the Site, but cannot edit or publish it. ### How do I publish from ChatGPT or Codex? Codex publishes through MCP or the CLI. ChatGPT publishes through a custom app on Business and Enterprise workspaces. On other ChatGPT plans, save the file and publish it in the Display web app. ### How do I move a Site to Display? Ask Codex to export the source code of the Site. If the Site is one page without a database, ask your agent to write it as one self-contained HTML file. Then publish that file to Display. An app that saves data stays on ChatGPT Sites. ### Can Display host an app with a database? No. Display holds HTML and Markdown docs: reports, specs, dashboards, prototypes and HTML slide decks. A page keeps its own scripts, and it can call the services on your domain allowlist. The Business plan includes the domain allowlist. For a database, file storage or sign-in inside the app, use ChatGPT Sites. Apps on Display are 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 Google, Microsoft or a one-time password before a private or company doc opens. 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. The file stays as your agent made it, and you can download the source at any time. ### Is ChatGPT Sites the same as Codex Sites? Yes, it is the same product. OpenAI released sites in the Codex app in June 2026, and many people call that release Codex Sites. The public beta of 9 July 2026 has the name ChatGPT Sites. You build a Site in ChatGPT or in Codex. ### Is ChatGPT Sites available in Europe? OpenAI opened Sites to more plans on 9 July 2026. At that time, it said that public publishing and the wider rollout were not available in the EEA, Switzerland or the United Kingdom. Today, OpenAI's documentation says that availability depends on your plan, region and workspace settings. It lists no regions. ## Give every agent the same place to publish Display works with Codex, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown.
