Kestrel's Q3 churn by region, an HTML report with a chart of churn for each month, open on Display. 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 Visualizations or Display?

Use Display when a chart, diagram or dashboard must reach people outside the chat. Keep ChatGPT to make the first draft. Then publish the result to Display as an HTML page with its own URL. Clients and colleagues open it without a ChatGPT account, and each update keeps the same URL. Use ChatGPT Visualizations when you want to explore an idea inside a chat and you are the only reader. OpenAI documents two ways to share a visualization: the chat's Share action, or a page in ChatGPT Space. A chat link from a ChatGPT Business or Enterprise workspace opens only for members of that workspace.

## Diagrams, mockups and tables on Display

Your agent writes each of these as HTML or Markdown today. More document types are planned.

- **Charts and dashboards** – Your agent writes the chart as an HTML page. Charts, scripts and interactivity keep working.
- **Diagrams and mockups** – Publish a diagram or a screen design as HTML, or write a Mermaid diagram in a Markdown doc. People comment on it and edit it on the page. Planned: Canvas, a document that holds screen designs side by side.
- **Tables** – HTML and Markdown tables work today. Planned: publish a CSV file as a table that readers can filter and sort.

## 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 chart with the right people

A doc stays private until you share it. A public doc opens without sign-in. For a private doc, readers sign in with a one-time password, or with Google or Microsoft from the Solo plan. Readers need no seat.

- **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.

### Use Display if

- A client or a colleague without a ChatGPT account must open the chart.
- Your team also uses Cursor, Codex, Claude Code or another AI.
- The chart needs its own URL that stays the same when your agent updates it.

## Questions about ChatGPT Visualizations and Display

### We already pay for ChatGPT. Why add Display?

Keep ChatGPT to make the chart. Display gives the result its own URL. People without a ChatGPT account can open it, and people you invite as Commenters can comment on it. Each update is a new version at the same URL. Display Team is $79 a month for the whole company, and viewers are free.

### Who can open a chart?

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.

### How do I move a ChatGPT visualization to Display?

Ask ChatGPT to write the same chart as one HTML file. OpenAI says that export formats can vary by result, so open the file and check it. Then publish the file to Display with the MCP server, the CLI or a file upload.

### Does the chart stay interactive?

Yes. Charts, scripts and interactivity keep working. The scripts run in the reader's browser. The page shows the data that your agent published. To change the data, your agent publishes a new version at the same URL.

### Can I turn the visualization into a ChatGPT Site instead?

Yes. OpenAI tells you to use a Site when the result needs a shareable URL. ChatGPT builds the Site. A public Site opens for people outside your workspace, and invitations to named people outside your workspace are rolling out. Display takes HTML and Markdown from any agent. People comment on the page and edit it, and each update keeps the same URL.

### Is Display a ChatGPT artifacts alternative?

Yes. OpenAI's documentation names no feature “Artifacts”. The nearest ChatGPT features are Visualizations and Intelligent UI. OpenAI documents two ways to share a visualization: the chat's Share action, or a page in ChatGPT Space. On Display, any agent publishes the chart, diagram or dashboard as an HTML page with its own URL, and you choose who can open it.

### Does ChatGPT have a whiteboard, a design canvas or spreadsheets?

OpenAI documents no whiteboard and no design canvas. Visualizations can make a diagram in a chat. In a page in ChatGPT Space, the /visualize menu also offers a screen design. OpenAI says that Sheets in ChatGPT Space are coming soon. On Display, your agent publishes diagrams, mockups and tables as HTML or Markdown today. Canvas for design work and CSV tables are planned.

### 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 every chart its own URL

Display works with Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown.
