“Before Display, we were sharing artifacts in Slack. For HTML artifacts, this meant messy and often confusing screenshots. Display is a perfect elegant solution for us.”
Answer
Use Display when people must review what Codex made: an HTML or Markdown report, a dashboard or a prototype. Codex publishes the file through the Display plugin, MCP or the CLI. Reviewers open it at one URL and comment on it, and each update keeps the same URL. Use a Codex share link to show the conversation itself. OpenAI's snapshot is read-only and does not change after you share it. On a workspace account, only signed-in members of that workspace can open it.
Keep Codex for the work. Add Display when people must read and review the result.
Add the Display plugin to Codex. It includes the skill and the MCP connection. Then ask Codex to publish report.html to Display. From a terminal or CI, run dsp publish.
Reviewers comment on a passage. Codex reads the comments, publishes the next version at the same URL and resolves the threads it answered.
Keep the doc private, open it to your company, invite people by email or make it public. Readers need no ChatGPT plan. A different agent can update the same doc later.
Fix any line right where you read it.
A Q3 delivery report is open on Display, with 89.7% in its On-time rate tile. Someone selects Edit in the header, changes the tile to 94.4% on the page, and selects Save changes. The report reopens as version 4 at the same URL.

A doc stays private until you share it. Then choose who can open it.
Every doc stays private until you share it with people and groups.
On Solo and higher plans, colleagues use the Google or Microsoft account they already have. Readers need no seat.
Invite clients and partners by email. They sign in with a one-time password and do not join your organization.
On Team and Business, see who opened which doc, and when, before you follow up.
Choose by what people must see – the conversation or the result.

Keep Codex for the work. Add Display when people must read and review the result. Display shows the report as a page to the people you choose. The Free plan includes 1 editor, 3 docs behind sign-in and unlimited viewers. Display Team costs $79 a month for up to 150 Editors and Contributors, and Viewers and Commenters are free. A Codex share link shows the thread, and it is read-only. On a workspace account, only members of that workspace can open it. ChatGPT Business costs $25 per user a month, billed monthly.
Add the Display plugin to Codex, sign in and start a new task. Then ask Codex to publish the file. The plugin includes the skill and the MCP connection. You can also connect the Display MCP server with an API key, or run dsp publish report.html from a terminal or CI. The steps are in the Codex guide.
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. On Solo and higher plans, they can also sign in with Google or Microsoft. Enterprise adds SAML sign-in, for example with Okta.
Teammates select a passage on the page and comment on it. People with edit access select Edit and change the doc right on the page. Codex reads the doc and its comments, publishes the next version at the same URL, and resolves the threads it answered. Each save or publish adds a new version. On Solo and higher plans, you can open and restore earlier versions. Mentioning an agent in a comment is planned.
Yes. Display holds the file that Codex publishes, not the conversation. Share the thread snapshot for the conversation, and publish the report to Display for the review. Put the snapshot link in the doc.
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.
No. OpenAI documents two things. The first is a read-only snapshot of a Codex thread. The second is file previews in the ChatGPT desktop app, on a page named “Work with files”. OpenAI documents no share link for a previewed HTML file. To host an app, OpenAI offers ChatGPT Sites.
Any agent that writes HTML or Markdown, for example Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Claude and ChatGPT. Agents connect through the Display MCP server, the CLI or the API. Each person can use a different agent on the same doc.
Display works with Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT and any other agent that writes HTML or Markdown.
