ChatGPT Enterprise/EDU Updates & Release Notes

Expanded Admin APIs and analytics

Admins can now create and manage workspace-scoped Admin keys in the Global Admin Console under Credentials > Admin keys. These keys work with supported ChatGPT and Codex administration APIs for group management, the Spend Controls API, cost reporting, and analytics. Available permissions depend on the admin's workspace role, and Admin keys cannot be used for model inference.

The Global Admin Console now includes up to 120 days of credit and Codex analytics history. Spend Controls and the Usage limits tab remain in ChatGPT and are not part of this Global Admin Console launch. Admins can continue to manage usage limits, including the No limit option where available, from Workspace settings → Usage limits. Learn more in

ChatGPT desktop app experience updates

We’ve updated the ChatGPT desktop app to make it easier to choose between Chat and Work, find your conversations and Projects, and continue Work across devices. These updates are now live for all plans on macOS and Windows.

macOS and Windows

• A clearer desktop layout: A global switcher lets you choose between ChatGPT and Codex. In ChatGPT, choose Chat for quick questions and conversational help, or Work to complete tasks end to end.
• Unified Recents: Chat and Work conversations now appear together in Recents, where you can sort, filter, and pin them.
• Projects in the desktop app: Your existing ChatGPT Projects now appear in the app. You can start a Chat conversation inside a Project or begin a Work thread using Project context.
• Continue Work across devices: Cloud Work conversations now sync across web, mobile, and desktop, so you can start on one surface and continue on another. Local conversations stay on your computer.
• Codex remains unchanged: As part of this update, Codex remains a separate view, and its workflows and history are unchanged. Quick Chats remain available for fast conversations.
• No changes to workspace controls: Existing workspace access permissions, security settings, governance, and spend controls are unchanged.

Introducing ChatGPT Work

ChatGPT Work is an agent for longer, more involved tasks. It can research and analyze information, work across connected apps and files, and create finished documents, spreadsheets, presentations, reports, and Sites. You can follow its progress, answer questions, change direction, and approve important actions as it works.

Work can also keep projects moving through Scheduled Tasks that run once, repeat on a schedule or trigger, or monitor for changes.

On web and mobile, Work is rolling out to paid plans except Free and Go. Pro, Pro Lite, Enterprise, and Edu users receive access first; Plus and Business users will follow over the coming days. Work is available in all supported regions.

On web and mobile, Enterprise and Edu workspaces have a two-week preview period. Work is off by default during the preview, and admins can opt out before it turns on automatically at the end of the preview.

We’re also replacing the App Directory with the Plugin Directory. Existing app connections are unaffected. Plugins can package skills, apps, and app templates for specific workflows, and are available from ChatGPT on web and desktop, including Work and Codex.

The new ChatGPT desktop app brings Chat, Work, and Codex together

The new ChatGPT desktop app is available globally for macOS and Windows. It combines Chat for questions and conversation, Work for research and finished deliverables, and Codex for software development in one app.

On desktop, Work can use local files and desktop apps with your permission. The built-in browser lets ChatGPT gather information from websites and work with supported web-based tools and files. Codex also adds inline editing within diffs, pull-request review in the side panel, faster computer use, and support for multiple repositories in one project.

If you already use the Codex app, update it as usual to move to the new ChatGPT desktop app. If you use the previous ChatGPT desktop app, follow the prompt in the app to download the new version. The previous app may remain installed as ChatGPT Classic. ChatGPT Classic continues to receive model updates, bug fixes, security patches, and support for its existing Enterprise capabilities, while new agent features such as Work and Codex are available in the new app.

Introducing ChatGPT Sites in public beta

ChatGPT Sites lets you turn your work or ideas into an interactive website or lightweight app without leaving ChatGPT. You can create dashboards, project trackers, launch calendars, prototypes, internal portals, and reports, then preview and refine the result with ChatGPT before sharing it.

Business and Enterprise customers already have access to Sites. Starting today, they can also publish Sites publicly and share them with anyone through a URL, expanding Sites beyond people in their workspace.

To create a Site, start in ChatGPT Work on the web or in Work or Codex in the ChatGPT desktop app. Describe what you want to build, add any relevant content, files, data, links, or constraints, and review the private preview before publishing.

In Enterprise workspaces, public publishing is off by default and must be enabled by an admin. Sites is also rolling out in public beta to Pro, Pro Lite, and Edu users, with Plus users following over the coming days. Sites is not available on Free or Go plans. Public publishing and the expanded beta rollout are not available in the EEA, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom at launch.

Retiring group chats in ChatGPT

Beginning July 9, users on web, iOS, and Android will no longer be able to create new group chats, turn existing conversations into group chats, or join a group chat through an invite link.

Existing group chats will remain available and can continue to be used for now. When an existing group chat becomes read-only, users will retain access to the messages, files, and images already shared there. Individual ChatGPT conversations are unaffected.

Retiring Atlas

We’re deprecating Atlas as we bring browser-based agentic capabilities into ChatGPT and Codex. Atlas is scheduled to stop working on August 9, 2026.

We want to make this transition as easy as possible. Before then, move any Atlas data you want to keep. Atlas browser data, including bookmarks, open tabs, and browser history, will not transfer automatically. You can export your cookies and passwords to the ChatGPT desktop app and your bookmarks to Chrome. Be sure to save any important pages or URLs from your open tabs and browser history before August 9.

Your ChatGPT conversation history is separate and will remain available in ChatGPT, subject to your plan, workspace settings, and account access.

We’re building on what we learned from Atlas to bring a more capable browser experience to ChatGPT, including multiple tabs, downloads, improved navigation, and account login support where available. For deeper browser-based agentic work, try the ChatGPT desktop app. For help while browsing in Chrome, try the ChatGPT Chrome extension or sidebar, where available.

You can learn more about moving off Atlas in our Help Center article.

ChatGPT for PowerPoint is now generally available for Enterprise and Edu workspaces. Users can create and revise editable presentations directly in Microsoft PowerPoint, analyze a deck’s narrative and structure, and use approved Skills and apps to work from authorized sources. Advanced edits and template matching may still require review.

Admins can enable the add-in through workspace settings or deploy it through Microsoft 365, including RBAC-based access where applicable. For eligible workspaces, ChatGPT for PowerPoint supports workspace policy enforcement, scoped source access, Compliance API coverage for prompts and responses, EU Inference Residency, and Enterprise Key Management.

Learn more about ChatGPT for PowerPoint.

[Update] Excel/Sheets and Workspace Agent pricing

ChatGPT for Excel/Sheets tasks now use token-based credit pricing for Enterprise and Edu workspaces. Workspace Agent runs also use token-based credit pricing for Enterprise workspaces. Credit use is based on input tokens, cached input tokens, and output tokens rather than a fixed credit cost.

ChatGPT for PowerPoint remains free for Enterprise customers through August 6, 2026. Charging starts after that date under the same token-based pricing model as ChatGPT for Excel/Sheets.

Learn more in the ChatGPT rate card.

Simplified controls in the model picker

We’re rolling out an updated model picker for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu on web, iOS, and Android. It makes it easier to choose the balance of speed and reasoning effort that works best for a task without changing the underlying models available to a workspace.

The picker now includes:

• Instant
• Medium
• High
• Extra High
• Pro Standard
• Pro Extended

Medium replaces Thinking Standard, High replaces Thinking Extended, and Extra High replaces Thinking Heavy. Pro Standard and Pro Extended continue to use GPT-5.5 Pro. Thinking Light is no longer available.

All six options are available to Enterprise and Edu workspaces, subject to workspace access settings.

Reasoning Model Access controls Medium, High, and Extra High. Pro Model Access controls Pro Standard and Pro Extended. Options that a member cannot access are hidden from the picker.

The Redirect Auto Router to Thinking mini setting is unchanged and continues to apply only to automatic reasoning. On iOS and Android, the picker appears at the top of the conversation. On web, it appears in the message composer.

Admin controls for plugins for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu

Workspace admins and owners can now manage plugins from Workspace settings > Plugins. This page brings plugin discovery and governance into one surface, including search and filters for status, installation policy, roles, category, and catalog. Additionally, workspace owners can enable or disable plugins for their workspace or for select roles from Workspace settings > Permissions & Roles.

Admins and owners can set whether plugins are available for members to install or installed by default - for the workspace, or for specific roles. Admins can also view the apps the plugin uses, and manage the plugin from this view. Learn more: Plugins in Codex

Memory improvements for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu

We’re rolling out improved memory for ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu. When memory is enabled, ChatGPT can use relevant context from past chats to keep memory current and make responses more relevant as work changes, rather than relying only on details saved manually.

Users can now:

• Review a memory summary showing information ChatGPT may use to personalize responses.
• View Sources below personalized responses to see relevant context from memories, past chats, and custom instructions.
• Correct memory, delete a referenced chat, mark a source as not relevant, turn memory off, or return to legacy Saved memories.

The memory summary is a high-level view of relevant context and may not include everything ChatGPT can remember or reference.

For ChatGPT Enterprise, the improved experience will begin with an early access period of approximately two weeks. During early access, admins can turn on Use improved memory in Workspace settings. After early access, it will turn on by default for eligible workspaces unless an admin opts out. Admins and users can switch back to legacy Saved memories.

This update does not affect Codex memory. Project-only memory remains contained within each project and does not use memories or conversations from outside that project. These improvements are available at no additional cost.

Learn more about the research behind these memory improvements in ChatGPT.

Codex Remote GA and DigitalOcean workspaces

Codex Remote is now generally available to users in ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu workspaces. From the ChatGPT mobile app, users can start or continue work on a connected Mac or Windows host, review progress, and approve actions from their phone. Remote Control now uses authenticated one-to-one QR pairing between each supported mobile device and each host. Connections used since June 8 remain paired; older inactive connections need to pair again. Signing out turns off Remote Control without removing existing pairings.

The new DigitalOcean Droplet Workspace plugin is also available to ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu users. It lets Codex provision a DigitalOcean Droplet, configure SSH access, and connect it to the Codex app as a remote workspace. Users should update the ChatGPT mobile app and Codex app to the latest versions before connecting.

Learn more about using Codex with a ChatGPT plan.

Enterprise and Edu workspaces can now enable Slack connector actions in ChatGPT. In addition to searching Slack, ChatGPT can take supported actions such as joining a channel, creating a reminder, uploading a file, or updating a user's Slack profile when the connector and relevant actions are enabled.

Admins can review Slack under Apps in ChatGPT and use Action control to manage which actions are available. Some actions may require additional Slack OAuth scopes or approval from a Slack workspace or Enterprise Grid admin. Existing Slack capabilities that do not require the new scopes continue to work if additional scopes are not approved. Learn more in the ChatGPT Slack app article.

Usage limits, Global Admin Console billing and analytics

Enterprise and Edu admins now have new tools for managing credit usage and reviewing billing-related activity. Usage limits in Workspace settings let admins and owners set monthly credit limits by workspace, group, and user, review increase requests, and migrate from existing weekly limits in Permissions & roles.

The Global Admin Console now also includes updated Analytics and Billing areas for eligible workspaces, including credit analytics, Codex and ChatGPT usage views, plan details, credit balances, grant activity, invoices, usage alerts, and overage limit settings. Admins, owners and analytics viewers can view usage data, and export data across different features and dimensions, such as credits used by Codex and ChatGPT, leaderboards for users and agents, and Codex and ChatGPT usage broken down by feature.

Library is rolling out to Enterprise, Edu, and Healthcare workspaces, giving members a dedicated place to find and reuse files they upload to or create in ChatGPT. Files saved to Library follow workspace retention policies.

Workspace owners can control whether ChatGPT automatically references Library files when responding. Turning off automatic referencing does not remove Library or prevent members from browsing, searching, opening, or attaching files themselves. For Healthcare workspaces, automatic referencing is off by default.

Library-specific Compliance API endpoints are also available for exporting and deleting Library files. Library does not introduce new external sharing or multiplayer collaboration.

Learn more about File storage and Library in ChatGPT.

App permissions for connected apps

Workspace admins can now use App permissions, where available, to choose when ChatGPT asks members before using connected apps. Admins can set a workspace-wide default and choose a different permission for individual apps, with options such as Always ask, Any changes, and Important actions.

Important actions is the default and allows ChatGPT to read from apps automatically while asking before actions that may have a meaningful effect outside ChatGPT, expose sensitive information, or be difficult to undo. App permissions replace the previous Action consent setting where available, while app access, RBAC, and Action control remain separate admin controls.
