A shared workspace gives a team one home for its skills, with its own members and place in the workspace tree. Create one when a team needs to share and maintain skills together. Your personal workspace is created automatically, is private to you, and has no member controls, so these steps apply only to shared workspaces.

​
Before you begin

Before you start, make sure you have:
  • Access: The Workspaces list in Settings shows workspaces to organization admins. See Roles and access for what each workspace role can change.
  • Parent chosen: The organization, or the workspace the new one belongs under.
1

Create shared workspace

  1. Open Brain and select your organization.
  2. Select Create, then New workspace.
  3. Enter a display name.
  4. In Belongs to, keep the organization or choose a parent workspace.
  5. Select Create.
Belongs to starts on the organization. Workspaces can’t be created inside your personal workspace.
2

Open workspace settings

Open Settings from the account menu, then select the workspace under Workspaces. The list shows the team workspaces you have joined, then the ones you can join, which offer Join. It does not list your personal workspace, the organization root, imported folders, or projects.You can also open the workspace in Brain, open the ⋯ menu at the top of the page, and select Settings and members. If a workspace does not offer Join, see Join workspace is not available.

Edit name and description

  1. Select Edit details.
  2. Update the name or description. The name is required.
  3. Select Save.
Protected root workspaces cannot be renamed or moved.
4

Move workspace to new parent

Move a workspace only when the hierarchy expresses a real ownership or access boundary. For example, Launch Crew sits inside Product & Design, so its launch plans stay near the design work they support.In the Overview section, select Change beside Parent workspace, choose the new parent from the workspace tree, and select Move here. These rules apply:
  • A workspace cannot be its own parent or move under one of its descendants.
  • A workspace stays within its current top-level tree.
  • A personal workspace cannot be a parent.
  • Nested workspaces move with it.
5

Verify workspace details

Open the workspace. The line under its ID shows what it holds, such as “3 skills · 2 agents”, Created by, and who updated it last and when. Confirm the name, description, and Parent workspace match what you set before you change access or delete anything.

Troubleshooting

If a workspace is missing from a list, or you get a permission error, see Workspace access errors.
