# Share Sessions

Share a [Bkper Agent](https://bkper.com/docs/ai/bkper-agent.md) session so your colleagues and Book collaborators can follow it live: to learn how you worked, to check your work, or to help. They can read it and continue it as their own. Only you can change it.

## Share a session

1. **Open the session menu** in the session's top bar.

2. **Turn on Share session.** Below the switch, the menu shows who will see the session before you share it, such as everyone at your company and everyone who can view the Book, and how many of the Book's collaborators are outside your company.

Shared sessions are marked with an icon in your list. Turn the switch off to stop sharing: anyone following the session loses it at once. Copies and exports people already made stay with them.

## Who sees a shared session

| Session started | Shared with                                                                                       |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Outside a Book  | Everyone at your company domain                                                                   |
| In a Book       | Everyone at your company domain, and everyone who can view that Book, including people outside it |

- **A session belongs to the Book it started in.** Sharing it later, from anywhere, never changes who sees it.
- **Who can view a Book:** Owners, Editors, and people with Record and View or View Only access. Record Only users do not see shared sessions.
- **Without a company domain**, such as a Gmail account, you can share only sessions started in a Book.
- **You need access to the Book** to share a session started in it.
- **Access is checked live.** Bkper checks who can see a session each time it is opened or followed. Someone who leaves your company or loses access to the Book stops seeing it within minutes.

> **Caution: A shared session shows everything in it**
> People who see a session see all of it, including amounts and details the agent read from any Book you can open. Colleagues at your company see a session shared in a Book even if they cannot open that Book. Share a session only if you would show its contents to everyone listed in the menu.
## Follow a shared session

Switch the session list from **My sessions** to **Shared**. In a Book, it lists the sessions shared in that Book. At [agent.bkper.app](https://agent.bkper.app), it lists the sessions shared with your company. Each row shows the title, who shared it, and when it last changed.

A shared session opens read-only and shows who shared it. It updates live while its owner works, and you can open and download its files while it is shared.

## Continue a shared session

Any session you can read, you can continue as your own. Each way below creates a new session of yours, marked **Continued from a session by** its owner, and opens it:

| You                                  | Your session starts from                              |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Reply in the message box             | The latest finished reply                             |
| Choose **Fork from here** on a reply | That reply                                            |
| Edit one of the owner's messages     | Just before that message, then sends your edited text |

- **Your session works with your access only.** The agent acts as you, so it reads and changes only the Books you can. Continuing a session never lends you the owner's permissions.
- **Your session uses your own [agent context](https://bkper.com/docs/ai/agent-context.md)**, never the owner's personal procedures and skills.
- **The original stays as it is.** Nothing you do reaches the owner's session, and the owner is not notified.
- **Files stay with the owner.** The agent sees their names in the history. Attach them again if your session needs them.
- While the owner's run is still in progress, your session starts from the last finished reply.

## Export a session

Choose **Export** in the session menu to download the session as one JSON file. Owners and anyone the session is shared with can export it.

The file holds every message, reply, and step the agent took, with the model, thinking level, instructions, and versions it used. It lists the session's files without their contents. Use it to give the session to another agent or to Bkper support. It contains everything the session does, so share it with the same care.

## Get help from Bkper support

Bkper support has no special access to sessions. To get help with one, export it and send the file to [support@bkper.com](mailto:support@bkper.com).
