What changed
Anthropic’s September 18, 2026 release note says the Compliance API’s local session endpoints now also return transcripts of Claude in Chrome sessions. The change is described as being in beta for Claude Enterprise organizations. The note specifies the endpoint behavior and eligibility, rather than saying that transcripts are generally available to all Claude in Chrome users. Organizations evaluating this change should distinguish the Compliance API transcript capability from a general user-facing transcript feature. The release note points readers to Anthropic’s “Sessions on users’ machines” documentation for details. That linked documentation is not included in the supplied evidence, so this report does not add further setup or retention instructions.

Access requirements
For the beta capability, Anthropic says organizations use their existing Compliance Access Key and the read:compliance_user_data scope. The release note does not specify other configuration steps, plan costs, or a broader rollout schedule. These details therefore should not be inferred from this announcement. The practical takeaway is limited to the documented access condition: Claude Enterprise organizations using the Compliance API’s local session endpoints can receive Claude in Chrome session transcripts under the stated beta arrangement, with the existing key and scope.
