+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+**Q: Can recipients respond to shared conversations?**
+A: No, shared links are read-only. Recipients can view the conversation but cannot add messages or interact with the AI.
+
+**Q: What happens if I delete a conversation after sharing it?**
+A: The shared link will no longer be accessible, and any user which navigates to that link will be served a page stating "Shared link not found".
+
+**Q: Can I edit a conversation after sharing it?**
+A: The shared link captures the conversation at the time of creation. Additional messages will not be reflected in the shared view - however, edits made to the existing messages will be shown.
+
+**Q: Do shared links work offline?**
+A: No, recipients need an internet connection to view shared conversations.
