Workspace Basics
Learn about workspaces and how to set up your documentation environment.
What is a Workspace?
A workspace is your documentation hub. It contains:
- All your projects and files
- Team members and their permissions
- Subscription and billing settings
- Workspace-specific settings and preferences
Each account can have multiple workspaces, perfect for separating client work, personal projects, or different teams.
Your First Workspace
Every account automatically gets a default workspace. You can customize it immediately:
- Navigate to Settings → Workspace
- Update the workspace name
- Set a custom workspace slug
Workspace Slug
Your workspace slug is the unique identifier used in URLs:
https://app.contextium.io/workspace/your-slug
Slugs must be:
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
- Between 3-50 characters
- Unique across all Contextium workspaces
Dashboard Overview
Your workspace dashboard shows:
- Quick Stats - Project count, file count, team size
- Recent Files - Recently updated documentation
- Quick Actions - Create project, add file, invite members
- Activity Feed - Recent changes and updates
Creating Additional Workspaces
Separate your work by creating multiple workspaces:
- Click the workspace switcher in the sidebar
- Click Create Workspace
- Enter a name and slug
- Select a subscription plan
- Click Create
Each workspace has its own:
- Team members and permissions
- Subscription and billing
- Projects and files
- Settings and preferences
Workspace Settings
Access workspace settings from Settings → Workspace:
- Name - Display name for your workspace
- Slug - Unique URL identifier
- Metadata - Creation date, workspace ID, your role
- Danger Zone - Transfer ownership or delete workspace
Switching Between Workspaces
Click the workspace name in the sidebar to open the workspace switcher. Select any workspace you're a member of to switch to it instantly.
Your browser remembers your last active workspace and returns to it on your next visit.
Workspace vs Project
Understanding the difference:
- Workspace - Top-level container for everything (team, billing, all docs)
- Project - Organizational unit within a workspace for related documentation
Think of workspaces as companies and projects as products or teams within that company.
