Description

Feedback session ID: 019ff564-1d6b-72c1-87e3-87e48b4120fc.
desktop build 26.803.10989.0.

ChatGPT Business projects visible on chatgpt.com are missing from the Windows desktop app.

Account: Devin McGarvey (@devin594646)
Workspace: Sift Fire Investigations
Desktop build: OpenAI.Codex 26.803.10989.0
Affected project: Sift Technical Writer

The account and Business workspace are identical on the web and desktop. “Sift Technical Writer” and other cloud projects appear on chatgpt.com, but the desktop Projects section only displays my local “test project.” Restarting or refreshing does not make the cloud projects appear.

Official documentation says the desktop Projects view should include both ChatGPT projects and local projects. Screenshots showing both surfaces are included in this session.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing-project behavior in the Windows desktop app using the stated Business workspace, account, and build 26.803.10989.0, then compare the desktop Projects section with chatgpt.com and the documentation expectation. Done means shared ChatGPT projects such as “Sift Technical Writer” appear alongside local projects without requiring repeated refreshes.
