☐ If any step fails, capture a screenshot and contact your workspace owner
- Set your display name — Claude will use this when addressing you
- Add profile instructions: account-wide guidance Claude reads before every conversation — e.g. "I am a contracts manager. Always be concise and professional. Default to plain English over legalese unless asked."
- Instructions here are global — they apply to every chat unless overridden by a Project's own instructions
- Good things to put here: your role, team, industry, communication preferences, and anything Claude should always know about you
- See which devices and sessions are signed in — useful if you want to sign out of an old laptop or phone
- Leaving the workspace: if you leave the company or your workspace owner removes your seat, your access ends. Your chats and projects are retained according to your team's policy
- Shows your current usage against your seat's allowance — how much you have used in the active window and how much remains
- No per-message billing to you. Your workspace pays a flat per-seat subscription that includes usage — you are not metered individually
- Each Teams seat has its own usage allowance that refreshes on a 5-hour rolling window, plus a weekly cap. The Teams allowance is meaningfully larger than personal Pro
- Direct URL shortcut: claude.ai/settings/usage — bookmark this if you want to check your limits quickly
- Longer conversations, large file uploads, and complex multi-step tasks use your allowance faster than short questions
- If you regularly hit your limit, ask your workspace owner about the Premium tier, which provides higher seat allowances
- Memory — Search and reference chats: allow Claude to search for relevant details in your past conversations when answering new questions
- Memory — Generate memory from chat history: allow Claude to automatically remember relevant context from your chats and projects. View and manage what is stored via "View and manage memory"
- Memory — Import from other AI providers: bring context from another AI tool (e.g. ChatGPT) into Claude. Subject to your workspace's policy on cross-tool data movement
- Tool access mode: controls how connector tools are loaded in new conversations. Default is "Load tools when needed" — Claude pulls in connectors only when relevant
- Visuals — Artifacts: generate code, documents, and designs in a dedicated window alongside your conversation
- Visuals — AI-powered artifacts: build apps and interactive documents that use Claude inside the artifact itself
- Visuals — Inline visualizations: allow Claude to generate interactive charts, diagrams, and visualizations directly in the conversation
- Connectors link Claude to external apps you already use — Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Slack, SharePoint, Box, and more
- Once connected, you can ask Claude to read, summarize, and act on content from those apps without leaving Claude
- Example: "Summarize my last 5 emails from this sender" or "What is on my calendar tomorrow and which meetings have prep docs?"
- Connect from Customize → Connectors — each connection uses OAuth so you control what Claude can access
- You can turn individual Connectors on or off per conversation from the + menu — Claude only accesses what you enable for that chat
- Connectors are web only — not in desktop or mobile
- Skills are specialized capabilities you can add to Claude from a library of pre-built tools — think of them as apps for Claude
- Browse and install Skills from Customize → Skills in the left sidebar
- On Teams, you see two libraries: the public Skills catalog and your organization's private Skills library — the private library may include skills built specifically for your team or workflows
- Some skills are pre-installed for everyone by your workspace owner and will already appear in your + menu
- Skills can be turned on or off per conversation — you are always in control of what Claude has access to
- Required setting: Skills depend on Code Execution & File Creation being enabled (Settings → Capabilities). If you do not see the Skills menu at all, your workspace owner likely has not enabled this yet
- A plugin is a bundle — one installable package that can contain skills, connectors, slash commands, MCP servers, and agents grouped around a workflow (for example, a "Sales" plugin or a "Financial Analyst" plugin)
- Install plugins from Customize → Plugins in the left sidebar — browse the marketplace, pick what fits your role, and everything in that bundle activates at once
- On Teams there are two kinds of plugins: personal plugins that you install for yourself, and organizational plugins that your workspace owner installs for the whole team
Personal plugins
- You install these just for yourself from the public Claude plugin marketplace — nobody else on the team is affected
- Useful for role-specific workflows that not everyone needs — e.g. a Sales rep installing the Sales plugin, a PM installing the Product Management plugin
- You can install, uninstall, enable, and disable personal plugins anytime — they show up in your + menu while active and disappear when removed
- Subject to your workspace owner's policy — on some Teams workspaces, personal plugin installs may be limited to an approved list
Organizational plugins
- Your workspace owner installs these for everyone on the team — they appear in every member's Claude account automatically, no per-user setup required
- Used for plugins the org wants everyone using consistently — a shared brand voice plugin, an internal "Statesmen Financial Services" plugin, or a compliance/legal review plugin
- Can be from the public marketplace or custom-built for the organization — private org plugins are not visible outside the workspace
- Managed by the workspace owner — you cannot uninstall an org-installed plugin, but you can usually toggle individual skills or commands within it on or off in your personal settings
- Updates roll out centrally — when your workspace owner updates an org plugin, everyone gets the new version at once
- Click "New chat" in the sidebar to start fresh — each chat is independent
- Type in the box at the bottom and press Enter or click the send button
- Shift + Enter adds a new line without sending
- Claude remembers everything in the current conversation, but not across separate chats unless Memory is enabled
- Be specific: "Write a 3-sentence summary of X for a non-technical executive audience" beats "summarize X"
- Give context: tell Claude who you are, who the audience is, and what you are trying to accomplish
- Iterate — you can reply to refine: "Make it shorter" or "More formal, please"
- Ask for a specific format: "Put this in a table" or "Use a numbered list of three"
- If a response misses the mark, rephrase rather than just re-sending the same prompt
- Click the paperclip icon to attach PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, images, and more
- Claude can read and summarize documents, answer questions about their contents, and extract data
- Images: Claude can describe, analyze, and answer questions about photos, screenshots, charts, and diagrams
- Teams plans support higher file upload limits and more uploads per conversation than personal plans
- Treat uploads like any other work document — they are governed by your team's data policies
- All past chats appear in the left sidebar, most recent first
- Click any past chat to continue it — Claude will have full context of that entire conversation
- Hover over a chat name to rename or delete it
- Use the search bar at the top of the sidebar to find old conversations by keyword
- History retention follows your team's policy — deleted chats are removed from Anthropic's systems within 30 days
- Tap the microphone icon to speak your message instead of typing
- Claude responds in text (and can read aloud on mobile)
- Great for hands-free use or quickly dictating longer prompts — commuting, walking, cooking
- Available on web and mobile apps
- Your seat has a generous usage allowance included in the Teams subscription — meaningfully more than a personal Pro plan, but it is still a finite per-seat allowance
- Usage runs on a 5-hour rolling window — if you hit your limit, it resets 5 hours after your session started (not at midnight). A separate weekly cap also applies
- Model selector: in the chat box, choose between models (e.g. Sonnet for speed, Opus for hardest reasoning, Haiku for cheap and fast). Heavier models use more of your allowance per message — default is usually fine; reach for Opus only when you need it
- Longer messages, large file uploads, and lengthy back-and-forth conversations use your allowance faster — start fresh chats for new topics
- Premium tier: if your workspace is on Teams Premium, your seat allowance is significantly higher. If you hit limits often on standard Teams, talk to your workspace owner about upgrading
- Priority access: Teams seats get priority over free users during high-traffic periods — less waiting
- Styles let you save a custom writing voice — Claude will match your tone whenever you select that style
- Create a style by pasting a writing sample (an email, memo, post) and asking Claude to analyze and save the voice
- You can create multiple styles — one for formal client emails, one for casual internal Slack, one for LinkedIn posts
- Select a style from the + menu in the chat box before or during a conversation
- Styles can also be set at the Project level so every chat in that project uses the right voice automatically
- A project is a container that groups related chats together under a shared context
- Unlike regular chats, projects let you give Claude standing instructions that apply to every conversation inside
- You can upload documents to a project so Claude always has them — no need to re-upload each time
- Great for: a specific client, a contract negotiation, a product launch, a hiring loop, or any recurring work
- In the left sidebar, click "New project" or the folder icon
- Give it a clear, specific name — e.g. "Acme Corp renewal" or "Q4 board materials"
- Add a description and custom instructions during setup (or edit them later)
- Start a new chat inside the project — it will inherit all your settings automatically
- Instructions are like a standing briefing — Claude reads them at the start of every chat in the project
- Examples: "Always respond in a professional tone," "I am a nurse — use clinical terminology," "Summarize all documents as bullet points."
- Keep instructions concise and specific — a few sentences works better than a long paragraph
- Edit instructions anytime from the project settings (gear icon)
- Inside a project, click "Add content" to upload files (PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, text files)
- Claude references these in every chat within the project — no re-uploading needed
- Ideal for: a company style guide, your team's playbook, product specs, the master contract, or an FAQ document
- Teams plans include more project storage and a larger working context than personal plans — you can keep significant reference material here
- An artifact is a self-contained piece of content Claude creates — a document, code, a webpage, or an interactive tool
- It appears in a separate preview pane to the right of the chat so you can see it while continuing to talk
- Claude automatically decides when to create an artifact vs. responding inline
- You can ask Claude to revise the artifact without starting over — just say "make it shorter" or "change the format"
- Documents: formatted text — reports, emails, templates, summaries
- Code: Python, JavaScript, SQL, and other scripts Claude writes for you
- HTML pages: styled web content — forms, landing pages, formatted tables
- Charts & visualizations: graphs, diagrams, flowcharts generated from your data or descriptions
- Interactive tools: calculators, quizzes, and mini-apps that run directly in the browser
A live artifact is a more powerful cousin of a regular artifact. Both appear in the same preview pane and look similar at first glance, but they behave very differently under the hood.
How live artifacts differ from regular artifacts:
- Persistent across sessions. A regular artifact lives inside one conversation — close the chat and it is just static content in your history. A live artifact is saved as a standalone page you can re-open at any time, even days or weeks later.
- Refreshable with current data. A regular artifact is a snapshot — the numbers and content are frozen at the moment Claude generated it. A live artifact pulls fresh data from your connectors every time you open it, so what you see is always current.
- Connector-aware. Live artifacts can call your connected tools (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Slack, SharePoint, etc.) directly when you open them — pulling today's emails, this week's calendar, the latest doc — without you re-prompting Claude.
- Interactive and stateful. Live artifacts remember small things like your filter and sort choices between visits. Regular artifacts are stateless.
- Designed for repeated use. Reach for a live artifact when you will want to look at this again — a status page, a recurring report, a tracker, a dashboard. Reach for a regular artifact for one-off content like an email draft or a report you only need once.
When to use each:
- Regular artifact: "Draft this client email." — one-off, send it, done.
- Live artifact: "Give me a page I can check each morning showing my open deals, this week's calendar, and any flagged emails." — pulls fresh data every time you open it.
- Copy button: instantly copies the raw content to your clipboard
- Download button: saves the artifact as a file (markdown, HTML, etc.)
- Iterate in chat: type "now make it…" and Claude updates the same artifact in place
- Version history: use the back arrow to see and restore previous versions
- Ask for a specific format: "Create this as a formatted one-pager I can share with my team"
- Describe the audience: "Write this for non-technical managers"
- Iterate freely — artifacts are designed to be refined through conversation
- If Claude puts something in chat instead of an artifact, just ask: "Can you put that in an artifact?"
- Cowork is Claude's agentic desktop workspace — it gives Claude access to your local files, folders, and apps so it can take action, not just chat
- Think of it as the difference between asking Claude to help you write something vs. Claude actually going into your files and doing it
- Available only in the Claude desktop app (Mac and Windows) — not on web or mobile
- Works alongside your Connectors — Claude can combine local files with Gmail, Google Drive, Slack, and other connected tools in a single task
- Included with Teams plans
- Workspace-level toggle: on Teams, Cowork is enabled (or disabled) by your workspace owner for the whole workspace at once — it is all-or-nothing, not per-person. If you do not see Cowork in your desktop app, the workspace owner has not turned it on yet
- Desktop app required: install the Claude desktop app for Mac or Windows from claude.ai (see Module 1) — Cowork is not available on web or mobile
- Admin privileges to install: on a locked-down corporate device, installation may need IT help. Without admin install, Cowork specifically may not work even if regular chat does
- Windows requires Virtual Machine Platform: Cowork runs in a sandbox on Windows that depends on the Virtual Machine Platform Windows Feature being enabled. Your IT contact can turn this on
- Folder access: you choose which folders on your machine Cowork can read. Access is explicit, scoped to that folder, and revocable at any time
- Grant Cowork access to specific folders on your computer — Claude can read files from those folders without you uploading them one by one
- Works with documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and most common file types
- Example tasks: "Organize my desktop by file type," "Find all invoices from last quarter," "Summarize every PDF in this client folder."
- You control which folders Claude can see — access is explicit and can be revoked at any time
- Claude can also write and save files back to your folders when you give it permission
- Files stay on your machine — Claude reads them locally rather than uploading them to the cloud
- Set up recurring tasks that run automatically on a schedule — daily, weekly, or custom frequency
- Common uses: morning briefings (pull calendar + email + Slack into a daily summary), weekly status reports, file organization, competitor monitoring
- Tasks run while the Claude desktop app is open — if the app is closed, tasks are skipped and run when you next open it
- Set up in plain language — no code required. Just describe what you want done and how often
- Results are delivered back to your Cowork chat, and can be forwarded via Dispatch to your phone
- When Claude does not have a direct connector for an app, computer use lets it point, click, and navigate your screen instead
- Claude can open apps, use your browser, fill forms, and interact with software that has no API or connector
- Claude always asks permission before accessing a new application, and you can stop it at any time
- Enable it in desktop app Settings — off by default. Your workspace owner may keep it off workspace-wide for security reasons
- Still early — works best on common apps and straightforward tasks. Complex multi-step sequences may need a second try
- Dispatch is the mobile remote control for Cowork — you send instructions from your phone and Claude executes them on your desktop
- Anything Cowork can do — read local files, use connectors, run apps — Dispatch can trigger remotely while you are away from your desk
- Claude works in the background on your computer and reports back to your phone when the task is done
- Requires both the Claude mobile app and the Claude desktop app to be running and signed into the same work account
- Available wherever Cowork is enabled — if your workspace has Cowork, you have Dispatch
- Open the Claude mobile app and tap "Dispatch" in the left sidebar
- On the Dispatch screen, toggle on access to your files and confirm you want to keep your computer awake for tasks to run
- Make sure the Claude desktop app is open and running on your computer — Dispatch uses it as the execution engine
- Start messaging Claude in the Dispatch section — your conversation syncs automatically between phone and desktop
- For best results, also have your Connectors set up (Gmail, Calendar, Slack) so Dispatch can pull from those tools too
- Meeting prep on the go: "Check my calendar and draft a prep memo for my next meeting." Claude pulls the event, finds related files, and sends you a summary
- Morning briefing follow-up: If you have a scheduled Cowork briefing, use Dispatch to ask "What changed since the briefing?" or "Which email needs my reply first?"
- File tasks: "Pull the Q1 sales spreadsheet and give me the total by region." Claude opens the file on your desktop and reports back
- Inbox triage: "Summarize my unread emails and flag anything urgent" while you are commuting or between meetings
- Draft content: "Draft a follow-up email to [name] based on our last conversation." Claude finds the thread and writes the reply
- Claude Design is an Anthropic Labs product that lets you create visual work — designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers — through conversation
- The interface has two sides: chat on the left, live canvas on the right — describe what you want and Claude builds it in real time
- Powered by Anthropic's most capable vision model
- Designed for anyone who needs visual output — founders, marketers, product managers, ops leads — as well as experienced designers who want to explore ideas faster
- Available in research preview for Teams plans
- Start with a clear description: "Design a 4-screen mobile onboarding flow" or "Build a landing page with a hero section, features list, and pricing table"
- The first generation is a starting point — the real value comes from iterating in chat
- Use chat for broad changes: "Make the color scheme darker," "Rearrange so the chart is below the metrics"
- Use inline comments for targeted changes: click directly on an element on the canvas and describe the specific edit you want
- You can attach reference material at any point — screenshots, existing slides, competitor designs, or a link to your website
- Ask Claude to explain its design decisions or suggest improvements — it can review for accessibility too
- Click "Export" in the upper-right corner of your project to choose a format
- PPTX: download as a PowerPoint file — editable in Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides
- PDF: download as a PDF for sharing or printing
- Send to Canva: opens the design in Canva where it becomes fully editable and collaborative
- Shareable link: share a view-only, comment, or edit link with colleagues. Treat shared links as you would any work asset — do not send sensitive material outside your team
- Claude Design has its own separate usage allowance — design activity does not draw from your regular chat usage
- The allowance resets weekly — each user gets their own bucket
- Currently in research preview — features, allowances, and availability may change as the product matures
- Workspace owner enablement: your workspace owner may need to opt your workspace into the Design preview. If you do not see Design in your app, that may be why
