# Accept and reject workload invitations in AWS Well-Architected Tool
<a name="sharing-invitations"></a>

A workload invitation is a request to share a workload that is owned by another AWS account. If you accept the workload invitation, the workload is added to your **Workloads** and **Dashboard** pages. If you reject the workload invitation, it's removed from the workload invitation list.

You have seven days to accept a workload invitation. If you do not accept the invitation within seven days, it's automatically expired.

**Note**  
Workloads can only be shared within the same AWS Region.
