How to Share Chat History in Claude Design
Share the design and the conversation as separate review materials, then check what your recipient can actually see. Preserve the approved decisions and open work alongside both.

To share chat history in Claude Design, check the design link and the conversation separately. Share the relevant conversation when available, or provide a reviewed transcript or summary; do not assume opening a design also reveals the discussion that produced it.
A reviewer needs the reasons behind the screens, especially when an attractive alternative was rejected. fenbs can keep those design decisions and the implementation handoff linked to the design, so the next person or assistant starts from the approved direction.
What should you do before sending the design?
- Identify the exact design and version you want reviewed. Write down the screen names and the question the reviewer should answer.
- Open its sharing controls on web or desktop. Choose the intended audience and an access level appropriate for the review.
- Check whether the recipient can see the relevant conversation. If not, share that conversation separately or prepare a checked summary.
- Remove sensitive material and unsupported claims from the review package. Test the links with the recipient before treating delivery as complete.
Anthropic describes a conversation beside a canvas in its Claude Design guide (opens in a new tab). That gives you two things worth checking: the visible result and the discussion. Keep this review focused on the history behind a design; the broader Claude Design overview covers what the tool makes.
Say a small studio is reviewing a customer signup screen. The current design removes a phone-number field, but an earlier draft includes it. Tell the reviewer which version is current and whether removing the field was approved, proposed, or still awaiting an answer.
Does a shared design include the discussion you need?
Verify the recipient view rather than inferring it from your own editor. You are signed in as the creator and may be able to see material the recipient cannot. Ask them to confirm that the requested screen opens and that the approval message or review summary is available.
The official artifact sharing instructions (opens in a new tab) explain audience and access controls. Available options depend on the artifact and organization settings. Changing sharing settings requires web or desktop, so switch there if you are reviewing from your phone.
- Can the recipient identify the current screen without asking you?
- Can they find the decision that explains the main change?
- Can they distinguish an unresolved comment from an approved requirement?
- Can they open every separate reference required for their review?
Use the recipient account for this test when possible. A signed-out browser can reveal whether a link asks for sign-in, but it cannot prove that a particular invited colleague has the correct access. A successful test means that person can reach the material they need.
How can you provide the missing chat context?
If the relevant discussion is a Claude chat with a Share control, use that conversation’s sharing options. Anthropic’s guide to sharing a chat with specific people (opens in a new tab) describes a view-only snapshot. Later messages need an updated shared snapshot before invitees can see them.
A shared snapshot lets a person inspect the discussion; it is not an instruction for their assistant to continue your session. If a chat cannot be shared in the form you need, copy the relevant exchanges into a document or write a concise review summary. Label whether you supplied a transcript, an excerpt, or a summary.
Keep a transcript in message order and preserve speaker labels. An excerpt needs a sentence explaining what was omitted. A summary needs source references for the important approvals, plus an explicit list of unanswered questions. Do not quietly turn a tentative suggestion into a requirement while shortening it.
For sending the visual result itself, see sharing a Claude Design link. The introduction to Claude AI explains the assistant itself; neither replaces checking what this particular recipient receives.
What belongs in a useful design review summary?
Write for someone who has not attended the earlier conversations. Start with the user’s problem and the current decision, then name the remaining work. Include enough reasoning that the reviewer can disagree with the right assumption instead of guessing why a screen looks that way.
Design: Customer signup, current review version Goal: Let customers request an appointment on a phone. Approved: Name and email are required; phone is optional. Reason: The owner chose email as the initial contact method. Still open: Final error-message wording needs review. Not approved: The alternate two-column desktop layout. Review request: Check the mobile flow and error states. Next step: Build only the approved fields after review.
Add the date and the person responsible for confirming the summary. If two messages disagree, preserve the conflict and ask which instruction applies. A fresh summary does not automatically cancel an earlier approval. Record the replacement decision when a person actually changes direction.
Keeping approved choices in Decisions and rules gives the implementation assistant a clearer starting point than a long conversation full of discarded options.
What should you remove or check before sharing?
Read the whole package, including the first messages and screenshots. Early prompts can contain client details, internal plans, credentials, or real customer examples that are irrelevant to the review. Replace those with suitable sample content before creating a shareable copy.
Check the links inside the summary too. Sharing a design does not resolve access to a separate document, repository, or reference folder. Choose a narrower audience when the work is confidential, and avoid changing organization settings merely to make one link easier to send.
Make the review boundary explicit: comments are requests for consideration until the responsible person accepts them. Give the reviewer a concrete question and a place to record the answer. Otherwise a design discussion can continue indefinitely while development follows an outdated interpretation.
How to do this with fenbs
- Create a free account and add the project whose design is being reviewed.
- Record the approved design choices in Decisions and rules, including who chose them. Leave unresolved review questions open.
- Add the design and reference links to the project’s work record, and create tasks for the changes people agree should be implemented.
- Connect a supported assistant through Integrations. Ask it to read the project context, then save Where we left off with the current design, outstanding review, and next implementation step.
fenbs does not import Claude chat history or host the design canvas. It is useful when the decisions and follow-up work need to survive a change of person, conversation, or assistant. For a single disposable review, a carefully shared design and a short document may be enough.
Keep the reason beside the next step
Link the reviewed design to its project, record the approved choices, and save the remaining implementation work in fenbs. The next connected assistant can read the decisions and Where we left off before changing the screen.
