OpenAI clarifies ChatGPT Work and Codex separation

OpenAI clarified how ChatGPT Work and Codex separate cloud and desktop experiences. According to the help article, cloud Work conversations do not appear in the desktop Work app, and desktop Work threads remain local to the computer. Desktop Work can still use local files and desktop apps with permission, but these remain on the local machine. The separation means that work done in the cloud is not automatically synced to the desktop app. Users must manage their workflows accordingly to keep cloud and desktop Work distinct. This distinction helps prevent accidental data leakage between environments. The clarification is intended to guide developers using both cloud and desktop versions of ChatGPT Work.
