What's the difference between a workspace and a project?

Understand the difference between workspaces and projects, and when to use each.

A workspace is your top-level organisational container — think of it as your company or team's home. Everything lives inside a workspace: members, billing, settings, and all your projects.

A project is where your actual work happens. Each project has its own content, permissions, and settings, but it always belongs to a workspace.

When to create a new workspace vs. a new project

Create a new project when you're starting a distinct piece of work — a new product, a separate documentation site, or a team initiative. Projects are cheap and easy to manage.

Create a new workspace only when you need a completely separate billing and membership boundary — for example, an agency managing work for a different client, or a personal account kept separate from your employer.

Switching content between workspaces is not straightforward. If in doubt, start with a new project inside your existing workspace.
