ChatGPT Enterprise/EDU Release Notes

Connector action controls

Admins and Owners can now enable or disable individual actions for custom connectors (e.g., to allow read but not write) and manually refresh actions to pick up developer updates. This brings finer control over what connectors can do in ChatGPT and a simple review path when new connector capabilities are added. Find these controls in Workspace Settings -> 12 Connectors -> 12 Manage actions or during publish.

Available to ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu workspaces using custom connectors. Toggles apply at the workspace level; new actions are disabled by default until approved and modified actions keep their prior state. To use Refresh, an admin/owner must connect to the connector as a user.

Learn more about these controls in our Help Center article.

ChatGPT Connectors in Enterprise and Edu Workspaces

Enterprise and Edu workspaces can now use ChatGPT connectors for Aha!, Asana, ClickUp, GitLab Issues, Help Scout, Teamwork.com, and Zoho Desk. Synced connectors deliver faster, higher-quality answers – especially for knowledge-heavy prompts like strategy summaries, policy lookups, and internal research.

Admins and Owners can enable connectors from their Workspace connectors settings, and can configure user access using RBAC. Connectors remain off by default until an Admin or Owner turns them on. Individual users can connect enabled connectors they want to use from Settings > Apps & Connectors. Once enabled, ChatGPT will automatically reference the indexed content when relevant. Learn more about how to use connectors here.

Company knowledge

Company knowledge is a new way to bring together context from all your connected tools for answers that know your business, with citations and links back to sources from your apps (for example: Slack, SharePoint, Google Drive, GitHub, Notion, HubSpot, Zendesk, Azure DevOps, Asana, and more).

Company knowledge respects your existing company permissions, so ChatGPT only has access to what each user is already authorized to view. It follows the role-based permissions admins have set for each connector. OpenAI never trains on your data by default. Learn more about OpenAI's enterprise-grade security, compliance, and data privacy programs.

Admins enable connectors for the workspace and can manage access with RBAC. At least one connector must be enabled for a user to see company knowledge.

To use it, start a chat, select company knowledge under the message composer, and ask your question to see cited results from approved connectors. Learn more in our Help Center article.

MCP support with developer mode

We’re rolling out full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support with developer mode so your organization can build, test, and publish MCP-powered connectors with read/write capabilities that let ChatGPT take action in your tools. Kick off workflows, create project management tasks, update your CRM, or combine connectors for more complex orchestrations.

Admins can review and publish connectors to the workspace, and use RBAC to control who can develop, test, and use each connector. Build your own MCP connector, or upload trusted third party connectors.

What’s new in Workspace settings

We’ve updated Workspace settings to make administration clearer and faster. A new General tab now centralizes workspace customization (name, logo, appearance, and workspace-wide instructions) and adds an AI policy modal you can configure to remind users of your organization’s AI policies on a recurring basis.

We’ve also streamlined navigation by combining Identity & provisioning with IP allowlists into a new Identity & access tab, and by renaming Settings & permissions to Permissions & roles.

See What workspace settings can I control for my workspace for details.

Enterprise Key Management (EKM)

EKM is now available for Enterprise and Edu customers. This capability allows organizations to encrypt all customer content using their own external Key Management System (KMS), giving organizations greater control over data security and compliance.

EKM supports integrations with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft Azure.

Read our OpenAI Enterprise Key Management (EKM) Overview to get started.

Availability

Note that EKM will be initially available for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu workspaces, and will be available for the OpenAI API in the coming weeks.

Slack integration with ChatGPT

We’re rolling out two new ways to bring Slack and ChatGPT together: a connector that brings your Slack context into ChatGPT, and a ChatGPT app for Slack – an integration that enables you to chat with ChatGPT from inside Slack.

With the ChatGPT app for Slack, you can chat one-on-one with ChatGPT in a dedicated Slack sidebar – a space to ask questions, summarize long threads into action items, draft replies, and search messages and files you already have access to. Chats you start in Slack also appear in your ChatGPT sidebar, so it’s easy to pick up later from web or mobile. Semantic search is supported for Slack customers with AI enabled on Business+ or Enterprise+ plans; all other plans use keyword search.

With the ChatGPT connector for Slack, you can securely bring in context from your Slack channels and DMs, making responses more helpful Available in chat, Deep Research, and Agent Mode. Admins can enable the connector from their Workspace connectors settings, and can configure user access by RBAC. Users can enable the connector from Settings > Apps & Connectors.

Both app and connector are available to Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise/Edu customers. Additionally, the ChatGPT app for Slack requires a paid Slack account; availability and workspace installation may depend on your Slack workspace settings.

Installing the app requires the connector to be enabled for your account.

Visit the ChatGPT app for Slack page to get started with installation.

We additionally added the Intercom synced connector, which allows you access and interact with your Intercom data—including conversations, tickets, and help center content.

SharePoint sync connector

Enterprise and Edu workspaces can now use an admin-managed sync connector for SharePoint. Admins authenticate once and deploy at workspace scale—choosing to sync all sites or specific folders via a file picker—while ChatGPT enforces existing SharePoint permissions. Users are matched by email and only see files they already have access to, with no per-user setup required. Connections can be enabled, updated, or removed at any time. Read more in our SharePoint Connector Help Center article.

Notion and Linear synced connectors

We’re also adding Notion and Linear as synced connectors, so teams can securely bring Notion pages and Linear issues/discussions into Chat for fast answers and summaries.

Admin connectors settings

All three connectors are managed in ChatGPT workspace Admin connectors settings in the Synced connectors section (RBAC supported). Once enabled, ChatGPT will automatically reference the indexed content when relevant.
