Claude Artifact — fine print

The fine print behind the Claude Artifact option page: storage limits, the org-admin off-switch, what "snapshot" means, and the bits the docs don't settle.

Last verified: 2026-06-07.

Unpublish is a one-way door

One Unpublish click kills the public version — but you can't republish that same artifact, and any persistent storage it held is deleted for good. [confirmed] (publishing and sharing)

The published link is a snapshot

Keep editing in your chat and the live version won't change until you Publish again. The link people hold points at the version you last published, not your latest draft. [estimate — docs describe version-locked publishing]

Storage: 20 MB each, text-only

A saved artifact's persistent storage is capped at 20 MB and takes no images, files, or binary data — text only. [confirmed] (what are artifacts)

A Team/Enterprise owner can disable public projects org-wide (Organization settings → Data and privacy). Existing public ones convert to private; internal sharing keeps working. [confirmed] (disable public projects)

The toggle is worded for "public projects"; the docs don't name published artifacts separately, so treat an artifact as one kind of public project. [unclear]

Link durability — docs are silent

No expiry or time-limit is stated for a published or shared link, and it's unstated whether links people already hold stop the instant you unpublish (checked 2026-06-07). Treat "stays live forever" as unconfirmed. [unclear]
