# Publidock vs sharing from ChatGPT

A ChatGPT shared link shows a conversation, or a canvas, to anyone who has the link. Publidock gives finished work a lasting address, a rule for who can open it, comments on the page and versions.

## In short

ChatGPT can share a conversation as a link, and from canvas it can share an asset such as rendered React or HTML. Anyone who has a shared link can view it and pass it on, and a shared conversation is a snapshot of the moment you shared it. Publidock is for the finished work itself: one address that stays the same as you publish new versions, a rule for who can open it, and feedback pinned to the page.

## Side by side

| What | Publidock | ChatGPT shared links |
| --- | --- | --- |
| What gets shared | The finished page, file or folder, at its own address | A conversation, or a canvas asset such as rendered React or HTML |
| Who can open it | Your choice per site: anyone, your company, named people, or a password | Anyone who has the link, and they can pass it on |
| After you change the work | Publish again and the same link shows the new version; earlier ones are kept | A shared conversation is a snapshot until you update the link |
| Taking it back | Change who can open it, or archive the site and keep its history | Delete the link or the conversation |
| Comments | Pinned to the spot on every plan | Not described in OpenAI’s sharing help |
| Work from other tools | Yes: upload, or publish from Claude, Cursor and any MCP client | Shares ChatGPT’s own output |

## When ChatGPT shared links is the better choice

- You want to show the conversation itself: the prompts, the answers and how you got there.
- It is a quick look for someone, and an open link is fine.

## When Publidock is the better choice

- The page will change and people should always see the latest version at the same link.
- Only your company, named people or password holders should be able to open it.
- You want feedback on the page and one place for everything the team shares.

## Can ChatGPT publish to Publidock?

Yes. Add Publidock as a connector in ChatGPT, then ask it to publish what it made. It returns the link and says who can open it.

## Can I share a ChatGPT canvas as a website?

Copy the HTML from canvas into a file and drop it on Publidock, or ask ChatGPT to publish it through the Publidock connector. It becomes a page at its own address, behind the rule you choose.
