Active account session controls

We’re rolling out Active sessions, a new security feature in ChatGPT that helps users review sessions associated with their account and sign out of sessions they don’t recognize.

Availability:

This feature is not available for accounts linked to an organization’s SSO sign-in, including SAML or OIDC. This can apply even if the organization does not require SSO for every sign-in, or if the user signed in another way for their current session.

Users with access can now:

• Review first-party OpenAI sessions from Settings > Security > Active sessions, with available details such as device, app, approximate location, sign-in time, trusted-device status, and whether it is the current session.
• Log out of individual sessions or all sessions from Active sessions

Active sessions shows sessions known through session management, including ChatGPT, Codex, and API Platform sessions where available. It does not manage third-party app sessions, connected apps, Sign in with ChatGPT sessions used only for third-party services, or Codex CLI sessions.

Codex updates: Computer use and remote control for Windows, usage profiles

Codex now supports Computer Use on Windows in the Codex app. Business users with Codex access can use Computer Use to let Codex see, click, and type in Windows applications. Users can also continue Windows workflows from ChatGPT on iOS or Android, or from Codex on Mac, to check progress, respond to prompts, and steer while away from the desk while the Windows machine remains the host for project files, shell, app server, and local context.

To try Computer Use on Windows, install the Computer Use plugin from the Plugins marketplace and invoke it using the @ mention, or Codex can use it when appropriate for the task.

This release also improves Codex app responsiveness and in-app browser speed, stability, and web compatibility, and adds gradually rolling out Codex profiles for eligible users. Profiles let users review and track their Codex identity, activity over time, profile details, usage stats, and token activity.

Computer Use on Windows is unavailable in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland at launch.

Computer Use, Remote control, Profiles.

Workspace admins and owners on Business plans can now use ChatGPT app templates to create workspace-specific apps for GitHub Enterprise, Snowflake, and Databricks. App templates provide a guided setup flow for provider-specific configuration such as OAuth credentials, callback URLs, webhook details, managed MCP server URLs, and workspace access controls before admins publish the app to members.

Use the new setup guides to understand the general app-template flow and the provider-specific steps for each template: ChatGPT app templates, GitHub Enterprise app template, Snowflake app template, and Databricks app template.

After publishing, admins can manage the resulting app from Workspace settings > Apps > Enabled, including role access, action controls, and action confirmation.

Codex updates: richer context, shared plugins, goal mode, browser improvements, remote locked use, and analytics

Codex now gives teams more ways to bring context into longer workflows, reuse internal tools, and track adoption:

• Appshots in the macOS app let users attach an app window to a Codex thread with a hotkey, including a screenshot and available text.
• Goal mode is generally available across the Codex app, IDE extension, and CLI, so users can define an outcome and success criteria and let Codex keep working toward it.
• In-app browser annotations support more precise styling feedback for browser-based and frontend work.
• Locked computer use lets users keep Codex working remotely and securely after the Mac locks, subject to existing regional constraints. Admins and owners can turn this feature off by setting remote_computer_use = false in the Policies & Configurations setting in Codex cloud. Review configuration reference for more details.
• Browser-use improvements add advanced annotation mode, faster asset extraction, read-only JavaScript context, tab grouping usability, less Chrome extension tab clutter, and reliability improvements.
• Plugin sharing lets ChatGPT Business users share locally built plugins with workspace members from the Codex app so teams can reuse internal tools and workflows. Shared plugins stay within the workspace and organization boundary, appear under Shared with you, and can be disabled by admins and owners with plugin_sharing = false in the Policies & Configurations setting in Codex cloud. Review configuration reference for more details.
• The global admin console now includes Codex analytics, with active users, credits and tokens, threads and turns, user leaderboards, plugin usage, accepted lines of code, model usage, and a console-aligned UI.

Learn more: plugin sharing, appshots, goal mode, locked computer use, and in-app browser annotations.

Codex remote access and access tokens for automation

Teams can now use the ChatGPT mobile app to stay connected to Codex work running on a host Mac, making it easier to answer questions, redirect work, approve actions, review outputs, and keep longer-running tasks moving when away from the host machine. The mobile experience reflects the live state of the connected environment, including project context, approvals, screenshots, terminal output, diffs, and test results.

Codex also adds access tokens for trusted, non-interactive local workflows, so approved automation can run through scripts, schedulers, or private CI runners with a ChatGPT workspace identity.

Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app is rolling out in preview on iOS and Android across all plans, including Business, in supported regions. To try it, update both the ChatGPT mobile app and the Codex app on macOS. Mobile setup begins in the Codex App on the host and may require Remote Control access to be enabled for the workspace.

Learn more in Remote connections and Access tokens.

The global admin console now includes new Analytics and Agents areas.

Analytics gives admins a consolidated view of adoption and usage, with trend views for active users and message activity plus drilldowns for GPTs, projects, skills, users, tool interactions, connector interactions, and workspace health.

Agents gives admins a consolidated view of workspace agents across the organization. Admins can open an agent to review details such as Agent ID, recent activity, connected apps, memory files, schedules, and agent analytics such as unique users and runs over time, or move into Builder to edit it. Workspace Owners can access these views from the global admin console.

ChatGPT for Excel and Google Sheets is now available globally for ChatGPT Business, giving teams a spreadsheet-native ChatGPT sidebar in Excel and Google Sheets for building, cleaning up, updating, and explaining workbooks. It supports Skills and apps where available, so spreadsheet work can use approved files, systems, and data sources from a user’s ChatGPT account.

Business customers have a free preview through June 2, 2026; after that, usage follows plan credits and usage terms. Admins can enable ChatGPT for Excel and Sheets in workspace settings and enable apps in the admin portal; app availability may depend on entitlements, admin settings, and source permissions.

ChatGPT workspace agents are rolling out gradually over the next few weeks to ChatGPT Business workspaces.

Workspace Agents let organizations build and use agents for repeatable tasks and automate business workflows leveraging all your connected apps & can run in ChatGPT and/or Slack. Workspace agents can be created, previewed before publishing, shared within a workspace, and run on a schedule.

Eligible workspaces can now:

• Create agents from templates or build from scratch.
• Connect agents to tools and apps such as Google Drive, Google Calendar, Slack, and SharePoint.
• Add skills, files, and custom MCP servers.
• Share agents privately, by link, or in the workspace directory.
• Schedule recurring runs in ChatGPT.
• Use agents in connected Slack channels.
• View version history and analytics for agents.

Workspace admins can also manage access to agent building, publishing, and Slack usage through admin controls. ChatGPT workspace agents are on by default at launch.

Simplified app action controls

Workspace owners and admins can now manage app actions with a simplified model in Workspace settings > Apps. In Action control, admins can choose whether an app allows all actions, allows only read actions, or uses a custom configuration for current actions.

Admins can also choose how actions added later are handled by enabling all new actions, enabling only new read actions, or disabling new actions until they are reviewed. This makes it easier to manage app permissions while keeping granular control when needed.

Owners and admins may want to review currently enabled apps, RBAC access, and app action settings to confirm that each app's policy matches their workspace needs. For more information, see:

Admin Controls, Security, and Compliance in apps (Enterprise, Edu, and Business)

Workspace analytics for Business

A refreshed analytics experience, entitled Workspace analytics, is now available for ChatGPT Business. Workspace analytics replaces User analytics with a simpler, workspace-level view that helps admins understand overall adoption and Codex usage across their organization.

Key highlights:

• Refreshed analytics experience: Updated visuals and navigation with a streamlined dashboard built for quick review of workspace activity.
• Workspace summary metrics: View headline metrics such as active users, total messages sent, and total credits spent across the selected time range.
• Member-level usage table: See usage by workspace member, including seat type, credits spent, and messages sent.
• Flexible date ranges: Analyze activity across preset windows including 7 days, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, or a custom range.
• Codex visibility: Jump directly to Codex analytics for lightweight insights into credits usage and developer activity.
• Search and filtering: Quickly find specific members and review individual usage patterns.

Outlook shared mailbox and shared calendar actions

The Outlook Email and Calendar apps for ChatGPT now support more delegated Outlook workflows for teams. With the right Microsoft permissions, users can ask ChatGPT to list and read shared mailbox messages, browse shared mailbox folders, mark shared mail read or unread, move shared messages, and send plain-text email from or on behalf of a shared mailbox. ChatGPT can also create, update, respond to, cancel, delete, and attach small files to events on shared Outlook calendars.

Workspace owners and admins should review the Outlook app's action controls before enabling newly added actions. Users who previously connected Outlook may need to reconnect after the workspace enables the new actions; Microsoft Entra approval may also be required.

New Codex seats in ChatGPT Business

We're introducing a new seat type: a Codex seat based on flexible, credit based pricing. Codex seats have no fixed cost per month, and provide access to Codex only - they do not include ChatGPT workspace access. There's no minimum number of Codex seats you need to purchase, but because seats are billed on usage, using Codex requires workspace credits.

Read about Codex seats, how to add or change them, and billing implications. If you’re new to ChatGPT Business, get started with What is ChatGPT Business?

For a limited time, eligible ChatGPT Business workspaces can earn up to $100 in Codex credits per newly added Codex seat after that member sends their first Codex message, up to $500 per workspace. Learn more in Codex for Business promotion: earn up to $500 in credits.

Along with this change, we're reducing the price of subscription-based ChatGPT seats by USD $5 / month (actual reduction may depend on pricing in your region).

If you're a current subscriber, the new, lower price will be reflected in your next monthly or annual bill. We're refunding the pro-rated price difference on your current bill as a credit that can be applied to your next subscription renewal to account for the price change. Learn more here.

Lastly, we've updated the Codex Rate Card to align with token-based usage pricing. This may result in a difference in what you're charged. Read more in the Codex rate card. ChatGPT rates remain unchanged.

Updated Box, Notion, Linear, and Dropbox apps

We’re rolling out updated Box, Notion, Linear, and Dropbox apps in ChatGPT Business. These updates add new app actions, including new write capabilities where supported, and bring the latest app experience into ChatGPT.

These apps are enabled automatically, and workspace admins/owners can review app actions in Workspace settings > Apps to enable those aligned to their workspace needs. Additionally, new actions may involve updated scopes - admins/owners should check the Box, Notion, Linear, and Dropbox app pages for details, and authorize any new scopes required to support new actions (such as write actions). New users may not be able to connect these apps until the scope authorizations are met, or actions are enabled/disabled in alignment with authorized scopes.

Members who previously connected these apps may need to reconnect the app after admin review to start using the updated experience.

Plugins in Codex

Codex now includes a curated plugins directory that lets users discover, install, and use packaged workflows built from apps and skills directly in Codex. Plugins are installable bundles for reusable Codex workflows, making it easier to share the same setup across projects or teams. Plugins can package skills, optional app integrations, and MCP server configurations in a single place. Learn more.

Plugin availability follows workspace app controls, so if the underlying app is disabled, the matching plugin can also be unavailable. Workspace owners can manage app access in Workspace settings → Apps.
