Workspaces

A workspace is an isolated space with its own members, channels, direct messages, and integrations. Nothing in one workspace is visible from another.

Create or join a workspace

• Create a workspace — set it up and a unique join code is generated for you to share.
• Join an existing workspace — use its 6-character join code (case-insensitive) or an invite link someone shares with you.

Workspace settings

Admins and owners manage the workspace under Customize workspace → Settings:

• Name, description, and icon — edit how the workspace presents itself.
• Reset the join code — generate a fresh code. Existing members keep their access; only the old code stops working.

Ownership

Ownership has two levels:

• Primary owner — the person who created the workspace. There is exactly one.
• Owners — any number of additional owners with owner-level control.

Only the primary owner can transfer primary ownership (to another owner) or delete the workspace.

Permissions & policies

Admins can tighten some capabilities from "everyone" to "admins only". These policies include:

• Who can create channels.
• The message edit window — how long after posting a message can still be edited.
• Whether members can delete their own messages.
• Require two-factor authentication — when on, every member must set up 2FA before they can use the workspace. New workspaces have this on by default. See Account & security.

Members

When you remove a member, they are deactivated rather than erased: they lose access to the workspace, but their past messages stay attributed to them so conversations still make sense. An admin can reactivate a deactivated member later to restore their access.
