# Share to Web

Source: https://athas.dev/docs/sharing

Share read-only snapshots of editor buffers, code selections, and agent conversations.

Sign in to your Athas account, then create a snapshot link hosted on athas.dev.
Public sharing is available on the free plan. Viewers do not need an account for public links.

## Share content

- Select code, right-click, and choose **Share Selection to Web**.
- Right-click in an editor and choose **Share Buffer to Web** to include the current buffer, including unsaved changes.
- Use **Share agent to web** in the agent header to share its conversation.

These actions are also available in the command palette. Review the content, choose visibility,
and click **Create link**. Athas copies the link to your clipboard. Enable **Keep this link up to date** for an agent session or buffer to include future responses
and edits. Leave it off to create a fixed snapshot. Selections are always fixed snapshots.
Live links update while Athas is running and the source is available, usually within a few seconds.

The web view uses Athas editor colors, fonts, line numbers, and conversation layout. It is read-only.
Agent snapshots include visible user and assistant text, including responses that used tools,
and show your account name and profile photo. Local paths in conversation text are redacted. They do not include system
prompts, tool payloads, or image attachments. Code snapshots preserve the selected text exactly.

## Visibility

**Public** is the default. Anyone with the link can view the snapshot.

**Specific emails** requires Athas Plus or Pro. Recipients sign in using Google, GitHub, or Apple with an allowed,
verified email address. If they signed in before this feature was available, they should sign in
again to verify their address for sharing.

**Organization** requires Athas Plus or Pro. Choose an organization you belong to. Only its active members
can view the link; removing a member also removes their access. The creator can always view their snapshot.

Restricted snapshots stay restricted if the creator's paid plan expires.

Open **Settings → Sharing & cloud** in Athas or on the [web dashboard](https://athas.dev/dashboard/settings/sharing)
to copy or revoke links, change access, and pause or resume live updates. Revoking a link disables it. Snapshots support up to
500,000 characters, with a 2 MB upload limit and 100 new links per account per day.

## Private cloud sessions

Enable **Sync agent sessions** in **Settings → Sharing & cloud** to upload existing agent
conversations and keep future responses in sync. This is separate from cloud settings sync.
Your cloud sessions are private to your signed-in account; enabling sync never publishes them.
Read them under **Private sessions** on the web dashboard.

Turning sync off in either app stops future uploads and retains existing cloud copies. Delete a
private session from the web library to remove its cloud copy; Athas will not upload that session
again automatically. Your local conversation is kept. The library supports up to 2,000 sessions,
with the same per-session text limits as sharing. Image attachments and tool payloads stay local.

## Review and revoke access

Inspect the selected buffer or conversation before creating a public link. Snapshot sharing, live updates and private session sync have different visibility. Revoke a link from Sharing & cloud when it is no longer needed. Use [Preview links](https://athas.dev/docs/previews) to share a running server instead of a text snapshot.
