How to share a Claude conversation with a link
You want to send someone your Claude chat as a link. Claude can do that — but its default link is private to you, so there's one setting you have to change or the other person will just see a locked page.
Create the share link
The one step people miss is the access setting. Claude starts a share as a private link only you can open; you have to switch it to public. Do these in order:
- Open the conversation you want to share.
- Click Share (on some layouts it's under the ··· menu, then Share).
- Set access to "Anyone with the link." This is the step to not skip — Claude defaults to a private link only you can open.
- Click Share link to generate the public URL.
- Click Copy — that's the link you send.
The step that trips people up
If your recipient reports a page they can't open, you almost certainly left the access on the default private setting. Reopen Share, switch it to Anyone with the link, and re-copy. A private link only ever works for the account that made it.
What the link exposes
Once it's set to "Anyone with the link," the URL is public to anyone who has it. There's no password — if it's forwarded, whoever holds it can read the conversation. Before you share, scan the thread for anything private: names, account details, pasted documents, internal plans.
The shared page is also a snapshot of the conversation at the moment you shared it. Later messages won't show up on it unless you share again.
Un-share when you're done
When the link has done its job, revoke it:
- Open the same conversation.
- Go back to Share (or the ··· menu → Share).
- Remove or disable the shared link / set it back to private.
The old URL then stops opening the conversation.
A common reason to share: continue in a fresh chat
Often the point of the link isn't to show a person — it's to move a long or slowing Claude conversation into a clean new one. A public share link is the tidiest way to hand the whole thread to a tool that can boil it down into a reboot prompt, which is what the box below does.
The faster way
Let Uncook write the handoff for you
Once your Claude link is set to "Anyone with the link" and copied, paste it into Uncook. It reads the whole conversation and writes a clean reboot prompt — your goal, locked decisions, repeated constraints and current state, already assembled. Skim it, paste it into a fresh chat, and keep going.
Uncook my chat →Honest about your data: pasted text is analyzed in your browser; a share link is fetched once through our server to read the conversation, then discarded — never stored, never used for training. A share link makes the chat viewable by anyone with the URL; un-share it once you're done.
