Note

🤖 This PR was written by Coder Agent on behalf of Danielle Maywood

Adds a dedicated Coder Agents Chat Sharing page instead of putting this detail in the overview.

The page covers sharing root chats with users or groups, read-only access behavior, direct-link access, inherited sub-agent chat sharing, and the deployment options for disabling chat sharing.

## Share a chat

1. Open the root chat you want to share on the **Agents** page.

Root is unfamiliar to readers.


Coder does not create a separate share link or notify recipients. Shared users and groups must open the chat from the URL you send them.

Sub-agent child chats inherit sharing from the root chat and cannot be shared separately.

Since we don’t surface the chat in the sidebar, they are inaccessible for the time being unless you find them in the chat history and access them that way.


## Shared chat access

Shared users can open the chat from a direct link, view messages, stream live updates, and download chat attachments.

I hope we’re not sharing users.


Shared users can open the chat from a direct link, view messages, stream live updates, and download chat attachments.

Shared chats do not appear in the recipient's normal chat list. Read-only users cannot continue the chat, edit messages, archive it, regenerate its title, or change sharing.

It subject in archive feels a bit misplaced after edit messages. Consider reordering or restructuring. Change sharing => settings/preferences?
