<h1>Workspaces and team collaboration</h1><blockquote>In a nutshell: Create a workspace, invite your team, and collaborate on shared projects — while everything stays encrypted. Tresor can't see any of it, and your personal conversations remain private.</blockquote><h2>What is a workspace?</h2>A workspace is a shared environment for your team. Inside a workspace:<ul class="accent-bullets"><li>Team members have their own private conversations (visible only to them).</li><li>You can share projects — giving members access to conversations, files, and context.</li><li>Billing is unified — one subscription covers all seats.</li><li>An audit trail tracks workspace activity for compliance (Team and Enterprise plans).</li></ul>Think of it as a virtual office where everyone has their own private desk, but you can set up shared meeting rooms (projects) when you need to collaborate.<h2>Creating a workspace</h2><ol class="steps-list"><li>Click the account switcher in the sidebar (your avatar at the bottom).</li><li>Select Create workspace.</li><li>Enter a workspace name (e.g., your company or team name).</li><li>Click Create workspace.</li></ol>[Screenshot: The "Create workspace" dialog with a field for the workspace name]Your workspace is ready. Now invite your team.<h2>Inviting team members</h2><ol class="steps-list"><li>In your workspace, click Invite teammate (or go to Settings → Members → Invite members).</li><li>Choose how to invite:</li></ol><ul class="accent-bullets"><li>Email invite: Enter one or more email addresses. Invitees receive an email with a link to join.</li><li>Share link: Generate a link that anyone can use to join the workspace.</li></ul><ol class="steps-list"><li>Select the role for the invitee(s).</li><li>Click Send invites or Generate link.</li></ol>[Screenshot: The invite members dialog showing email and link invite tabs]Invitees create a Tresor account (or log in to an existing one) and are added to your workspace automatically.<h2>Member roles</h2><table style="min-width: 50px"><colgroup><col style="min-width: 25px"><col style="min-width: 25px"></colgroup><tbody><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1">Role</th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1">Can do</th></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Owner</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Full control: manage members, billing, settings, projects, and conversations</td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Admin</td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1">Manage members, invites, and settings.

Switching is instant.<h2>Sharing projects</h2>Sharing happens at the project level — you don't share individual conversations, you share entire projects. This includes all conversations, files, and instructions within the project.<ol class="steps-list"><li>Open a project in your workspace.</li><li>Go to Project settings → Share project.</li><li>Choose members and set their access:</li></ol><ul class="accent-bullets"><li>Can view — Read-only access to conversations and files.</li><li>Can edit — Full access to create conversations, upload files, and modify the project.</li></ul><ol class="steps-list"><li>Click Save.</li></ol>Shared projects show a small indicator on the folder icon in the sidebar.For details on project creation and management, see <a href="./projects.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Projects</a>.<blockquote>🔒 Privacy: When you share a project, Tresor securely distributes the encryption key to the selected members. Tresor itself never gains access. Members who aren't given access cannot see a thing.</blockquote><h2>Managing members</h2><ol class="steps-list"><li>Go to Settings → Members in your workspace.</li><li>You'll see all members and pending invites with their roles and status.</li><li>Use the actions menu (⋯) on each row to:</li></ol><ul class="accent-bullets"><li>Edit role — Promote or demote a member.</li><li>Remove member — Revoke their access immediately.</li><li>Resend invite — For pending invites that may have been missed.</li><li>Revoke invite — Cancel an unaccepted invitation.</li></ul>Removing a member immediately revokes their access to all shared projects.<h2>Audit trail</h2>On Team (30-day retention) and Enterprise (1+ year retention) plans, the audit trail records workspace events:<ul class="accent-bullets"><li>Member joins, leaves, or is removed</li><li>Role changes</li><li>Projects created, shared, or deleted</li><li>Billing changes</li></ul>The audit trail tracks actions, not conversation content. It's designed for compliance without compromising privacy.<h2>Good to know</h2><ul class="accent-bullets"><li>Workspaces require a Team or Enterprise plan. Free and Pro users have personal accounts only.</li><li>Each workspace member takes one seat in your subscription (€39/seat/month on Team).</li><li>Your personal conversations are never visible in a workspace — only project content you explicitly share.</li><li>Workspace names are encrypted, just like everything else in Tresor.</li><li>You can be part of multiple workspaces and switch between them freely.</li></ul><h2>Related articles</h2><ul class="accent-bullets"><li><a href="https://tresorai.productlane.com/docs/using-tresor/projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Projects</a> — Create and manage projects for organized work.</li><li><a href="https://tresorai.productlane.com/docs/using-tresor/project-files-and-context" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Project files and context</a> — Upload shared documents.</li><li><a href="https://tresorai.productlane.com/docs/account/billing-and-plans" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Billing and plans</a> — Team pricing and seat management.</li><li><a href="https://tresorai.productlane.com/docs/account/managing-your-account" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="cursor-pointer box-border border-b hover:border-b-[2px] transition-all duration-75 " style="text-decoration: none; border-color: var(--portal-accent-color);">Managing your account</a> — Personal account settings.</li></ul>
