# Collaboration

> Share an assistant conversation with colleagues, decide who can reply, and control what you are notified about

# Collaboration

A conversation with an assistant starts as yours alone. You can open it up — to named
colleagues, or to everyone in the account — so the thread, its working and its answers are
in one place instead of being pasted around.

## The model in short

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="The owner decides" icon="key">
    Only the person who started a conversation can share it, change someone's access, or take
    it back. Everyone else sees no sharing controls at all.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Two access levels" icon="user-shield">
    An **Editor** can reply and take a turn with the assistant. A **Read-only** participant can
    follow the whole thread but cannot prompt the assistant.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  Sharing is reversible. Removing someone is a single action in the share panel, and it is the
  owner's to take — not the invitee's.
</Note>

## Sharing with people outside your team

Everything in this section is about colleagues inside your account. External people —
a customer, a supplier, a contractor — go through the client portal instead, which is a
separate and much narrower view. See [Client Portal](/spaces/client-portal).
