ChatGPT Business Updates & Release Notes

GPT-6.1 Terra

GPT-6.1 Terra is rolling out in ChatGPT Work and Codex. It supports a range of tasks, including visual reasoning, computer use, and writing.

As the rollout reaches your Business workspace, you can use Terra in the Work and Codex experiences included with your seat and allowed by your workspace permissions.

To get started, select GPT-6.1 Terra from the model list in Work or Codex. You can use Standard or Fast mode where available, with the same default Power presets and overall plan limits as before.

Terra is available in Work and Codex, not Chat. It does not support UAE inference residency; this restriction is based on where inference runs, not your location.

For help using the model, see: ChatGPT Work and Codex. For current usage estimates, see: Pricing.

Manage Business workspace settings in Admin Console

In addition to Workspace settings in ChatGPT, workspace owners and admins can manage members and available Business workspace controls in Admin Console. Select your Business workspace. For some workspaces, selecting Workspace settings automatically opens Admin Console.

Your workspace role and plan permissions still apply. Using Admin Console does not add Enterprise-only features or change who can manage paid seats.

Introducing locked chats

ChatGPT Business members can lock selected conversations to keep them out of regular chat history, pinned chats, and search without deleting them. Open locked chats with your 4-digit account PIN or supported device authentication.

Locked chats are rolling out gradually for ChatGPT Business on the web, in the iOS and Android apps, and in the new ChatGPT desktop app for macOS and Windows. To lock a chat, open a chat’s more options menu (•••) and select Lock chat. Workspace policies and retention settings stay unchanged.

Learn more about locked chats.

Manage multiple plugins at once

Workspace administrators can now manage up to 25 plugins at a time in Admin console. Make selected plugins available for installation, install them for the workspace, or disable them. Review dependencies before confirming, then check the result for each plugin.

Available to ChatGPT Business workspaces. To get started, select your workspace in Admin console, open Plugins, select the plugins, and select Edit. Required-app access and provider permissions still apply. Learn more about managing plugins and apps.

GPT-6 and Intelligent UI in Business Chat

GPT-6, powered by GPT-6 Sol, is rolling out in Chat to eligible Business workspaces. Availability depends on workspace access and supported clients.

Intelligent UI can combine text, visuals, and interactive elements when useful. Responses may begin while ChatGPT continues thinking, followed by more detail. These capabilities are available with GPT-6 at Instant through Extra High on supported clients.

Manage plugins and marketplaces in Admin console

Workspace owners and admins in ChatGPT Business can now manage plugins and marketplaces in Admin console. Select your ChatGPT workspace, then open Plugins to manage plugins or Marketplaces to manage your workspace’s plugin marketplaces.

Apps remain available in Workspace settings > Apps. You can also open the Apps page by selecting Manage Legacy Apps from the Plugins page in Admin console. Existing workspace permissions and app access controls continue to apply. Learn more about managing plugins and apps.

Team tasks in ChatGPT

Team tasks let you share recurring work with teammates in ChatGPT. Set a task to run on a schedule or supported trigger, using approved company tools. Authorized teammates can review results and update instructions together, so maintaining the task doesn’t depend on one person. For example, your team can post a weekly project update with progress, blockers, and next steps to an approved Slack channel.

Team tasks are available in ChatGPT Business workspaces, subject to workspace permissions. To get started, ask your workspace admin to set up the approved connections your team needs. For setup instructions, see: Creating and managing team tasks in ChatGPT.

Share Pages and Spaces with a team

Create a team in ChatGPT to bring together coworkers who work on the same projects. Add your colleagues once, then share Pages or entire Spaces with the team. Teams can also use shared plugins and maintain recurring team tasks together, subject to workspace permissions.

Available in ChatGPT Business workspaces. Team membership does not automatically share personal chats or app connections, and it does not override your organization’s access controls.

Learn more about Teams in ChatGPT.

GPT-6.1 Sol in Work and Codex

GPT-6.1 Sol improves on GPT-6 Sol in agentic coding, computer use, and professional work. We’re rolling it out in ChatGPT Work and Codex, starting with Pro users and expanding to Plus, Business, Enterprise, and Edu. Enterprise and Edu administrators must enable access.

For availability and model selection, see: ChatGPT Work and Codex.

For model availability and usage, see: ChatGPT Business models and limits. For usage paid in credits, see: ChatGPT credit rate card.

Connected apps, editing, and schedules in Sites

ChatGPT Business members can build private workspace Sites using supported connected apps, such as issue dashboards and document finders. Teammates in the same workspace approve read-only access to their own connected accounts, within their existing permissions. Organization approval is required, and workspace admins must turn on Allow use in Sites for each plugin. This setting is off by default. Visitor access is available while using the Site and can’t be reused by background scheduled tasks.

Site owners and editors can select Edit site from a published Site in a desktop browser to continue editing in ChatGPT, review changes, and publish when ready. Owners can create recurring cloud schedules from Automations. Learn more about creating and managing Sites and workspace controls.

Global admins in ChatGPT Business organizations can now manage whether ChatGPT Sites can use members’ connected apps and whether applications can access ChatGPT Ads. These controls are on the redesigned External access page in the OpenAI Admin Console. Identity-only sign-in remains separate from data access.

Both new permissions are off by default during the admin preview. Members must still authorize access using their own permissions. Sites access also depends on workspace and individual app settings. For setup, see: Managing your tenant in Admin Console.

Use plugins in Voice and get work done by speaking

Live now supports plugins on web, iOS, and Android. You can use the plugins and connected apps available to your account during a Voice conversation and follow written responses in the chat.

Voice is also available in Work on web and mobile. Ask it to create documents, presentations, and spreadsheets, use connected apps, or work in a browser. When you end a Voice call in Work, an unfinished task can continue in text.

Workspace controls continue to apply. Voice in Work requires both Voice and Work access, and plugins retain their existing app access, data permissions, and action restrictions. When an action needs your approval, review it on screen.

Learn more: ChatGPT Voice.

Privacy Center is rolling out to signed-in ChatGPT Business users. It brings together information about chat privacy, memory, personalization, data use, connected apps, and account security, with links to the settings that manage them. Your privacy controls remain in ChatGPT Settings.

On the web, open your account menu, select Help, then select Privacy Center. On mobile, open Settings, then select Privacy Center on iOS or Privacy center on Android. Available options depend on your plan, region, and workspace settings.

ChatGPT for Word is now available for ChatGPT Business. You can draft from notes, summarize a document, revise selected text, and adjust headings and formatting from the ChatGPT sidebar. Install the same Microsoft add-in used for Excel and PowerPoint to get started.

Workspace admins can turn Word access on or off in the ChatGPT admin console. Microsoft 365 admins must also allow the ChatGPT add-in. Starting Oct 1, 2026, Word access will be enabled by default.

Word uses token-based pricing at the API rates for the model you use. Your plan’s token limits apply, and Word draws from the shared usage allowance for Codex and other premium features on plans that include it. See the Business and Enterprise/Edu rate card for credit pricing.
