Claude memory is now the same store across chat and Cowork, exposed as editable topic files you can delete
Announced 2026-08-25, memory used in chat is now identical to memory in Claude Cowork, and it updates during a conversation rather than summarizing after it, so a deadline mentioned mid-chat is already known in the next one. Memory appears in settings as file-based topic files you can read, edit or delete, and corrections propagate to all future conversations. Sensitive categories including health, beliefs and ethnicity are excluded by default behind an opt-in toggle, while SSNs, criminal records and immigration status are never stored at all. It defaults to on for Free, Pro and Max; Team and Enterprise admins control availability.
