Sharing a chat.

Any chat can be shared as a public snapshot at /share/:slug. Two ways to start:

- **SHARE button in the chat header** (right side, next to the user menu). Appears once the chat has at least one turn. - **⌘K → Share this chat**. Same result.

Clicking either opens a modal that takes a snapshot of the chat's current active branch (not the raw DB rows), publishes it at a 10-character random slug, and shows you the URL with a COPY button.

**What's included in the snapshot:** - Every message on the active branch (user turns as chat bubbles, assistant turns rendered as replies) - Image attachments (copied to a public bucket, rendered inline) - Citations from web search - Model labels and timestamps

**What stays private:** - Your custom instructions, memory, and project knowledge (anything from your system prompt) - Other regenerate branches (only the active one is published) - PDF attachment bytes (only the filename shows as a chip) - Reasoning traces from extended thinking - Second-opinion critiques

Share URLs are not indexed by search engines by default (robots.txt disallows /share/*). Anyone with the link can read; no LADLE account required.

Revoke any time from Settings → Data & privacy → your shares. Revoking is immediate — the public page returns 404 within seconds. Revoked share URLs cannot be un-revoked; you'd need to share again to get a new slug.

Think twice before sharing chats with personally identifiable information about anyone else, credentials (API keys, tokens, passwords), or private drafts.
