Publish and Unpublish Agents for Chat

Control whether an agent appears in Chats by setting it to Live or Draft.

What is Agent Publishing?

Agent publishing determines if an agent is available in the agent picker when you start a new Chat.

Live agents appear in the agent picker and can be selected for Chats
Draft agents are hidden from the agent picker, so you can build and test them without affecting your team

This feature helps you develop agents privately before making them available to your workspace.

How to Change Agent Status

Open the agent you want to modify
Locate the status indicator in the agent header
Click the indicator to toggle between Live and Draft

The change takes effect immediately. No save or confirmation is required.

Status Indicators

A colored dot in the agent header shows the current state:

Indicator	Status	Meaning
🟢 Green dot	Live	Agent appears in Chat agent picker
⚫ Gray dot	Draft	Agent is hidden from Chat agent picker

Default Behavior for New and Existing Agents

Agent Type	Default Status
Agents created before this release	Live
New agents created after this release	Draft

All existing agents were automatically set to Live when this feature launched. New agents default to Draft, so you can configure them before making them available to your team.
