# Leave or decline something shared with you

> Take a shared specialist, workflow, app, skill, connection, database, store, or browser off your lists, or decline a share right from its notice.

You no longer need the owner to undo a share. To leave a specialist, workflow, app, skill, connection, database, store, or browser someone shared with you, open the role badge or "Shared" chip on its page and choose Leave. A share that just arrived can be accepted or declined from its notice's menu in Activity. Your specialists can do it for you when you ask. See how [teams and sharing](/changelog/2026-11-09-teams-and-team-sharing) work.

### How it works

- **Leaving a share removes what it gave you.** If nothing else reaches it, your access ends; if a team or the workspace gives you a lower role, you keep that. The owner can share it again anytime.
- **Shared with everyone or a team? It leaves your lists.** When the workspace, one of your teams, or a specialist you belong to still gives you access, leaving takes it off your lists, search, sidebar, and the specialist's page for you alone. A link still opens it, and a new share to you puts it back.
- **A specialist goes with what others own in it,** its workflows, apps, and skills, including ones added later. What you own stays yours.
- **You see what breaks before you confirm.** From a page, a notice, or a specialist, we first say whether your access ends, shrinks, or only leaves your lists. When it ends or shrinks for a connection, database, store, or browser, we list your workflows and apps that use it, and nothing changes until you confirm.
- **The owner hears quietly.** When you leave a direct share, its owner gets an inbox note, with no email or push.

### Also shipped

- Owners can't leave what they own; they can transfer it to another member or delete it instead.
