More than one workspace

One account, as many workspaces as you need. An agency has one per client. A consultant has their own and the customer's. Somebody keeps an experiment apart from the business it might one day be part of.

Each workspace keeps its own applications, its own people, its own design systems, its own domain and its own user directory. Nothing crosses between them — that is the whole reason to have a second one.

Where the switcher is#

Top right, behind your picture. Every other workspace you belong to is listed as Switch to it, and choosing one moves you there. When you are in more than one, the name of the one you are in sits beside the menu, so which is which is never a guess.

The whole screen reloads when you switch. That is deliberate: a dashboard still listing the workspace you have left is how somebody deploys the wrong thing.

Starting one#

New workspace… in the same menu, or New workspace on the Team page. Give it a name and you are moved into it as its owner.

It starts empty. Applications, people and design systems belong to a workspace, and nothing is copied across — if you wanted them together they would not need to be two.

The role you hold is per workspace#

You can be the owner of your own and a viewer in a client's. The role that decides what you may do is the one you hold here, not one attached to your account.

So the same person, in two places on the same afternoon, can delete an application in one and be unable to deploy in the other. See People and roles.

Joining somebody else's#

An owner there adds you by your email address. Because you already have an account, you keep the password you already had — you are added rather than signed up again, and the next time you sign in the workspace is in your switcher.

Leaving one#

Leave next to it on the Team page. Your account and every other workspace are untouched.

Two things will stop you, both for the same reason — a door nobody can open:

• You cannot leave your only workspace.
• The last owner of a workspace cannot leave it. Make somebody else an owner first.

Being removed from one#

An owner can take you out of theirs. You are signed out of that workspace immediately, and only that one: your own and any others carry on as they were.

What this does not change#

Applications, people and data stay where they are. There is no moving an application between workspaces, and no shared login between them. A person who signs in to applications in two of your workspaces holds an account in each — see People who sign in.

Spend is still reported per workspace, which is what makes a client a clean line in a bill.
