As an administrator, you can control if people in your organization can share skills they create in Google Workspace Studio with people outside your organization. When someone shares a skill with a link, the person with the link gets a copy that includes the owner's setup, such as text they entered, email addresses, and links to files in Drive. Sharing doesn't change access permissions to things like calendars, files, and meetings.

Users designated as under 18 can't use AI features in Workspace Studio. This includes creating and sharing skills.
