Workspaces

A Workspace is the top-level container in the product. It groups related projects together and controls who has access at the highest level. Every project belongs to exactly one workspace.

What a workspace contains

  • One or more projects, each with their own documents
  • A member list that controls workspace-level access and permissions
  • Workspace-level settings such as the title and archival state

Workspace vs. Project

A workspace is the broad container, think of it as a team or department. A project is a focused collection of documents within that workspace. Workspace membership and project membership are separate. Joining a workspace does not automatically give non-owner members access to every project; they access individual projects through explicit project membership or invitation. The workspace owner can see all projects in the workspace.

Roles and permissions

Each workspace member has a role, owner, admin, or a more limited role, that determines what they can do. Only the owner can remove members, delete projects, or transfer ownership. See Workspace Permissions for a full breakdown of what each role can do.
