- People who can access the shared link can only view your conversation. But they cannot edit or continue the chat further.
- Currently, any file you included in the prompt will not be included in the shared conversation.
- Images generated from Bard will be included on the shared conversation page.
- Finally, these are public links, so anyone with the link will be able to access your conversation. Make sure to not include any personal details or keep your links secured.
