# How to create a workspace

Add a new workspace to your account so a team, project, or initiative gets its own space for journey maps, personas, and more.

A workspace gives a team, project, or initiative its own set of journey maps, personas, portfolio items, metrics, research, and templates. You create one from **Account settings**, in the **Workspaces** tab.

{% hint style="info" icon="tag" %}

#### Plan availability

The number of workspaces your account can have depends on your plan: Free includes 1 personal workspace, Repository 1 team workspace, Framework 3, and Governance an unlimited number. To add more than your plan allows, [upgrade your plan](/account-and-team/billing-and-plans/what-is-included-in-each-plan.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" icon="list-check" %}

#### Prerequisites

You need Admin access at the account level, since workspaces are created in **Account settings**.
{% endhint %}

#### Create a workspace

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the Workspaces tab in Account settings**

Click **Account settings** in the left sidebar, then open the **Workspaces** tab. It lists every workspace in your account, each with its user count and a **Manage users** link.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Click Create workspace**

The **New team workspace** window opens with a single field, **Team workspace name**, pre-filled with a default name.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Name the workspace and click Create**

Replace the default with a name that reflects the team, project, or initiative the workspace is for, then click **Create**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

#### What happens next

The new workspace appears in the left sidebar, slotted alphabetically into the list rather than at the bottom. It starts empty, so your next steps are usually to [invite the people who will work in it](/account-and-team/users-and-roles/how-to-invite-users.md) and start adding journey maps and personas.

Adding a second workspace also activates the [Account Library](/account-and-team/how-to-use-the-account-library.md), a shared layer that keeps a single synced copy of an item available across every workspace in your account.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://helpdesk.smaply.app/account-and-team/workspaces/how-to-create-a-workspace.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
