# Chats
Chats give admins a private, workspace-level chat to ask questions across all connected data sources.
They work just like an app, with every data source in your workspace connected.
**Key differences between Chats and apps**\
Chats and apps share the same building blocks, but differ in a few important ways:
* **Who can use it**: Chats are available to workspace admins and owners only. Apps can include any workspace member.
* **Data access**: Chats connect to every data source in your workspace. Apps connect only to the data sources assigned to them.
* **Visibility**: Chats are private to the admin who created them. Apps are visible to all their members.
* **Collaboration**: Chats are for individual use and cannot be shared. Apps are built for team collaboration, with shared workspaces, member roles, and permissions.
## Using Chats
Chats appear in the sidebar, with your most recent ones listed there for quick access. Click **Chats** to view your full list, or **New Chat** to start a fresh one.
Workspace level chats
Inside a chat, ask questions in natural language across every connected data source in your workspace. You can ask questions that span your entire environment without switching between apps.
As you investigate, create queries, canvases, alerts, and workflows directly from the conversation. All assets are owned by that chat.
Your chats are persistent. Return to any previous chat from the sidebar and pick up where you left off.

## FAQs
### Can I share a chat with another admin?
No. Chats are private to the workspace admin or owner who created them and cannot be shared, even with other admins or owners.
### Can members see my chats?
No. The Chats section is only visible to admins. Members do not see it and their experience in apps is unchanged.
### What happens to assets I create in a chat?
Chat assets (queries, canvases, alerts, and workflows) are owned by that chat and stay with it. You can access them any time by returning to the chat.
