# Workspaces

A workspace is your organization in Workover. It holds the member list, the plan and billing, the workspace style guide and integrations, and it contains your projects. This page explains how workspaces relate to each other and covers creating, switching, renaming and deleting one.

For how workspaces, projects and documents fit together, see [Core concepts](/docs/core-concepts/).

## How many workspaces you need

Usually one. A workspace is a hard boundary: members, projects, content and billing do not cross it. Different teams or different websites are usually projects inside one workspace, not separate workspaces.

A second workspace makes sense when you are genuinely running separate organizations, for example an agency keeping two clients completely apart.

> **Warning:** Every workspace has its own plan and its own bill. A second workspace is a second subscription, billed for its own seats.

## What belongs to a workspace

- Members and their roles
- Projects, and everything in them
- The plan, seats, payment method, billing details and invoices
- The workspace style guide
- Integrations

## Create a workspace

1. Open the workspace switcher and choose **New workspace**. You can also go to **Account settings** > **Workspaces** and click **New workspace**.
2. Enter a **Name**. The **URL** is filled in from the name, and you can change it. Optionally add an **Icon**, then click **Create workspace**.

You become the workspace’s owner. A new workspace is not on a plan, but you can use it for 7 days without one. To keep using it after that, an owner or admin starts the plan from **Plan & billing**. If nobody has by the end of the 7 days, anyone who opens it sees **Start your free trial to continue**. See [How to start your free trial or subscribe](/docs/start-your-plan/).

## Switch between workspaces

Use the workspace switcher in the app header. One sign-in covers all your workspaces, so you do not need to sign out and back in.

If one workspace is blocked because of its plan, your other workspaces are not affected. You can keep working in them.

## Rename a workspace or change its URL

1. Open the workspace switcher and choose **Workspace settings**. The **General** tab opens.

1. Upload a new **Icon**, or change the **Name** and click **Save**.
2. To change the workspace’s address, edit **URL** and click **Save**. It accepts lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.

Only workspace owners and admins can change these. Changing the URL changes the address of every page in the workspace, so update any bookmarks or links you have shared.

## Ownership

Each workspace has one owner, and only the owner can delete it. Ownership cannot be transferred in the app. If the owner is leaving your company, [contact support](/docs/contacting-support/). For what owners, admins and members can each do, see [Roles and permissions](/docs/roles-and-permissions/).

## Delete a workspace

> **Warning:** Deleting a workspace is permanent. It deletes the workspace’s projects, documents and members, and it cancels the subscription **immediately**, not at the end of the period you have paid for. It cannot be undone. [Export](/docs/exporting-documents/) anything you want to keep first. If you only want to stop paying, [cancel the plan](/docs/changing-or-cancelling-your-plan/) instead.

**Before you start:** you must be the workspace **Owner**, and you must belong to at least one other workspace. You cannot delete your only workspace.

1. Open the workspace switcher and choose **Workspace settings**. The **General** tab opens.
2. Under **Danger zone**, click **Delete workspace**.

1. Type the workspace’s URL to confirm, then click **Delete workspace**.

Deleting a workspace does not touch your WordPress site. Content you have already published stays there.
