Pinning Content

Pin from the content page header, by hovering over cards on the home page, or by right-clicking any item.
Privacy Options
Every piece of content starts as Private by default. You control who can access it.
Private Sharing
Invite specific people by email. Invited users get view-only access -- they can see the content and duplicate it to their own account, but they cannot edit the original.
Public Sharing
Switch a piece of content to Public and anyone with the link can view it. No login required.
Chat Sharing
Share any AI conversation with a public link. Click the Share button in the chat header to toggle visibility, invite by email, or copy a direct link. Shared chats display the full conversation read-only -- viewers can see all messages and AI-generated content but cannot send new messages.
Social Sharing
When sharing publicly, you can distribute the link through built-in social sharing buttons:
- X (Twitter)
- QR code
Comments and Reactions
Shared content supports comments and reactions. Viewers can leave feedback or respond to specific parts of the material.
Duplicating Shared Content
Anyone who can view a shared item can duplicate it to their own account. This creates an independent copy they own and can edit freely. The original remains unchanged.
View and Duplicate Tracking
For shared pages, you can see how many times your content has been viewed and how many times it has been duplicated. This gives you a sense of how your materials are being used.
