Personal and team workspaces

One account, a personal workspace, and any teams you join, each with its own thinking for you.

Everyone has a personal workspace, set up when you sign up. You can also belong to team workspaces. It’s all one account, with one sign-in.

What’s in each

Personal workspace Team workspace
Your own thinking Yes, only you read it Yes, a separate one, only you read it
The team’s thinking No Yes, everyone on the team reads it
Groups Yes, with people you invite by email Yes, with teammates

Your thinking in a team is separate from your personal thinking. Nothing moves between them on its own. What you say in a team workspace teaches your thinking there, and what you say in your personal workspace stays in your personal thinking.

That’s deliberate. Work you do for a team shouldn’t quietly reshape your personal thinking, and your personal life shouldn’t leak into how your team sees you.

Switch workspaces

Open the account menu and pick a workspace under Workspaces. The list appears once you belong to more than one. You land on your front page there.

Inside a workspace, the slip at the top of your contents switches between whose thinking you’re reading: yours, the team’s, or a group’s.

If you leave a team

When someone is removed from a team, their own thinking in that team is deleted, because it was drawn from team work and only they could read it. What they shared with the team or a group stays there, credited to them. Their personal workspace isn’t affected.
