Replit Adds Chat and Asset Sharing for Teammates
ReplitReplit now lets users share a whole chat or a single asset with selected teammates or an entire workspace. Chat access is read-only and includes the chat's assets and development URLs. Replit warns that development URLs open live servers rather than isolated previews, so users should check what their server exposes first.
Key Takeaways
- Users can share an entire chat or a single asset with selected teammates or the whole workspace.
- Chat access is read-only for recipients.
- Shared chats include the chat's assets and development URLs.
- Development URLs open live servers, not isolated read-only previews.
- Replit advises users to review what their server exposes before sharing.
- The feature makes team handoff and review easier by sharing context along with output.
Sharing Chats and Assets
Replit added sharing for chats and individual assets. A user can share a complete chat, or just one asset, with specific teammates or with the whole workspace. This makes it easier to hand a colleague the context behind a piece of work, not only the finished output.
What Recipients Get
Access to a shared chat is read-only. It includes the chat's assets and its development URLs, so recipients can see the conversation and open what was built.
A Security Caveat Worth Noting
Replit calls out one important detail: development URLs open live servers, not isolated read-only previews. Anyone with access can reach whatever the running server exposes, so users should review what a server makes available before sharing a chat that includes it. Replit has published documentation on sharing chats and assets.
