Shared workspaces

Creating shared workspaces

To create a shared workspace:

  1. From the Shared workspaces page, select + Workspace.
  2. Specify a name for the workspace. The maximum length is 80 characters.
  3. Specify the permissions that you want to apply to the workspace.
  4. Select Save.

Specifying workspace access permissions

When you create a workspace, you have the option of keeping the workspace Private or making the workspace public. Making the workspace public workspace enables you to share the workspace with other users or groups.

Type of access Description
Private The default access for a new workspace is Private. Only you, as the creator of the workspace, have access.
Everyone There are three types of pubic access:
  • Viewer. Everyone can view all of the items in the workspace, but can't Edit the items.
