# Workspaces

A workspace is your organisation. It owns the subscription, the member list, the billing details and the workspace style guide, and it contains the projects.

## How many you need

Almost certainly one.

A workspace is a **hard boundary**: members, projects, content and billing do not cross it, and each has its own subscription. Two workspaces means two bills and no shared anything.

The case for a second one is genuinely running two organisations — an agency keeping two clients completely apart for contractual reasons, or two companies that happen to share a person. “Different teams” and “different websites” are not reasons: those are [projects](/docs/core-concepts).

## Creating one

From the workspace switcher. You become its owner, and it starts its own trial and its own subscription.

## Switching

The switcher in the app header. One login, several workspaces — you do not sign out and back in.

Your [notification feed](/docs/notifications) is cross-workspace, so being mentioned somewhere you are not currently looking still reaches you.

## What is scoped to a workspace

- Members and their roles
- Projects, and everything in them
- The subscription, seats and payment method
- The workspace style guide
- Integrations — GitHub, Slack, support inboxes

## Renaming

Workspace settings → **General**. The name is what appears in the switcher and on invitations, so it should be recognisable to someone being invited.

## Ownership

Exactly one owner, who alone can transfer ownership and delete the workspace. Admins can do nearly everything else.

Transfer ownership before you leave a company, not after. Recovering a workspace whose owner is gone is a support conversation.

## Deleting

Workspace settings, and it is deliberate: it cancels the subscription and removes the content.

**It does not touch your WordPress site.** Everything published is on your site, which is yours; Workover holds no control over it. Deleting a workspace removes the drafting side, not the published side.
