ShareSafe in Claude
Work in Claude with your confidential documents.
Connect ShareSafe Workspace to Claude so it can search, compare and summarise your protected documents. View the original details privately in a ShareSafe panel inside Claude. Claude itself never sees them.
You need ShareSafe Workspace and a Claude account.
Here's how it looks.
Claude works with the protected version. When you ask about your documents, an AI model processes that protected content to write the answer. View the original details privately in a ShareSafe panel inside Claude. Claude itself never sees them.

What Claude sees – and what it doesn't.
- Document content
- The protected version, with placeholders such as [NAME_01]. In Claude, each one gets a suffix, as in [NAME_01~k7f2q]. That ties it to you and to the document, so only you can look up the real value.
- File and vault names
- Replaced as well. For each vault, you can choose to show Claude a label only.
- Folder names
- Never shown to Claude.
- What Claude doesn't see
- Documents still waiting for review, and vaults Claude isn't allowed to access.
- Originals
- Claude never gets originals and can't download anything.
- Access rights
- Claude sees only what you're allowed to see, and can't change anything. One exception: with your permission, Claude can flag text that's still readable. Someone with the right access then decides whether to replace it.
Recognition can miss things. Check the protected version, and make sure the rest of the content is fine to share.
If you connect an external AI service such as Claude yourself, you choose to share the protected version with that provider, under its terms.
The real names stay with you.
Open
Ask Claude to show a placeholder. A ShareSafe panel opens right in the conversation.
Confirm
You confirm with a security code, or approve it in ShareSafe.
View
The real value appears in that panel, for your eyes only.
Real values never go back to Claude.
Security and access
- You confirm with a code from your authenticator app, or approve the request in ShareSafe.
- A confirmation lasts up to 30 minutes for that connection. A vault can set a shorter time.
- You need permission to see originals in that vault.
- Every time you view a real value, it's recorded in the audit log.
- If you change your password or authenticator app, or sign out everywhere, you'll need to reconnect.
