What's collaboration mode on codex

normal ivyBOT
#

Hi @viscid parcel. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

“Collaboration” can refer to a few different OpenAI features, depending on context.

1. Collaboration in general (ChatGPT projects & workspaces)

OpenAI supports collaboration mainly through shared projects and workspaces in ChatGPT:

  • You can share a project with teammates so everyone can use the same files, instructions, and chats. ChatGPT then draws on the shared project’s content (chats, uploaded files, instructions) so responses are informed by your group’s internal knowledge. [Shared projects]
  • Projects can be shared “Only those invited” or “Anyone with a link,” with limits on collaborators and files depending on your plan (Free, Plus, Pro, Go, Business, Enterprise, Edu). [Project sharing]
  • In shared projects, members can move their own chats in or out; project-only memory ensures the project doesn’t see personal memories outside it. [Collaboration in shared projects]

There’s also shared edit access for custom GPTs on Team, Enterprise, and Edu, where multiple users can co-manage a GPT (owner, editors, workspace admins). [Shared GPT edit access]

2. “Collaboration mode” on Codex

The knowledge sources describe Codex as an AI coding agent that works:

#
  • In your terminal/IDE or Codex app, pairing with you to edit files, run commands, and tests.
  • In the cloud, where you can delegate tasks that run in an isolated sandbox.
  • As an automated code reviewer in GitHub. [What is Codex?; [Codex updates]

However, the knowledge sources do not mention a specific feature called “collaboration mode” in Codex (e.g., a named toggle or setting). They do describe collaborative workflows around Codex (e.g., team code reviews in GitHub, using Codex across your tools), but not a distinct “collaboration mode” feature.

So, based on the provided information:

  • Collaboration in OpenAI products is clearly defined for ChatGPT projects, workspaces, and custom GPTs.
  • For Codex, the sources describe how it integrates into team workflows (IDE, CLI, GitHub reviews), but do not document a dedicated “collaboration mode” setting or feature by that name.

@normal ivy are you able to merge 2 accounts to use both plan limit but with same chat and memory?

normal ivyBOT
#

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

No—based on the docs, you cannot merge two separate ChatGPT accounts to combine plan limits (e.g., use two Plus/Pro/Business quotas together) under one identity with shared chats and memory.

Here’s what is supported instead:

#
  • Subscriptions cannot be transferred or combined between accounts. You can’t move a Plus/Pro subscription from one account to another or pool them. [Subscription transfer]
  • There is no general “merge accounts” feature. The only documented “merge” flows are:
    • Manually exporting chats from one account and importing them as a file into another account (this does not recreate the original chat list or merge limits). [Transferring conversations]
    • Merging a personal workspace into a ChatGPT Business workspace when you join that Business workspace. This moves your chats, GPTs, and memories into the Business workspace, cancels/refunds your personal subscription, and permanently deletes the personal workspace; it does not give you two plan limits. [Merge personal to Business; Memory with Business merge]
  • Merging is irreversible when you do the personal→Business merge, and you can lose access to that data if you later lose access to the Business workspace. [Irreversible merge; Losing access after merge]

So you can:

#
  • Keep two separate accounts, each with its own plan and limits, but they won’t share chats or memory automatically, or
  • Consolidate into one main account/workspace (possibly via export/import or personal→Business merge), but then you only have that one plan’s limits.

@normal ivy from which docs do you take info from?

normal ivyBOT
#

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

I pull information from OpenAI’s official help and documentation articles that your upstream system has provided as “knowledge sources.”

Each time I answer, I:

  • Scan those specific articles for content relevant to your question.
  • Use only what’s written there (I don’t invent missing details).
  • Add inline citations that link back to the exact help article I used, like this: [Transferring conversations].

For example, when I answered about merging accounts and subscriptions, I relied on:

why can't you export chats from business chats? @normal ivy

normal ivyBOT
#

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

The knowledge sources confirm you currently can’t export data from a ChatGPT Business workspace, but they do not explain why this limitation exists.

All we have is a clear statement of the restriction:

They don’t provide a rationale (e.g., technical, security, or product-design reasons), so anything beyond that would be speculation.
