Make, rename and archive a workspace
Start a new workspace from the rail, rename one, choose where new members land, and archive or delete one you no longer use.
A workspace groups activities and the people who make them. Organisation admins make, archive and delete workspaces. A workspace leader can rename the workspace they lead.
Make a new workspace
From any page:
- Select the workspace card near the top of the rail. On a phone, open the menu first.
- Choose New workspace.
- Type its name under Workspace name and press Create, or press Enter.
Taktyl makes it, moves you into it and opens its Dashboard. Cancel or Escape closes the box and makes nothing. If your plan has room for no more workspaces, Taktyl says so and nothing is made.
You can also press New workspace on Organisation › Workspaces, which lists every workspace with its activities, members and leads. All workspaces in the rail's workspace menu opens that page.
Rename a workspace
- On Organisation › Workspaces, open a row's menu and choose Rename workspace.
- Or, as its leader, open Details in the rail's workspace group, change Workspace name and press Save changes.
The new name shows everywhere the workspace appears. Nothing else changes. A workspace is known by its name alone.
Where new members land
On Organisation › Workspaces, Default workspace says where people you invite to the organisation without a workspace land first. Press Set default or Change and choose one under New members join.
Archive a workspace
Archive a workspace you no longer use but may want back. Its students cannot open anything in it, launches from your LMS do not work, and its activities become read only. Their attempts are kept.
- On Organisation › Workspaces, open its row's menu and choose Archive workspace. Or open Details inside it and press Archive under Danger zone.
- Read the box and press Archive workspace.
Archived workspaces are listed under Archived on Organisation › Workspaces, with when and by whom. They stay archived until you press Restore there, or Restore workspace on its Details. Nothing deletes them on their own. Your default workspace and your only workspace cannot be archived or deleted.
Delete a workspace
Deleting takes its activities with it, with their pages, interactions and every attempt, and its own files and templates. It does not go to the Bin, so it cannot be undone. Archive it instead if you might need it again.
- On Details inside it, press Delete under Danger zone, type its name under Type the workspace name to confirm, and confirm.
- Or, once it is archived, press Delete on its row under Archived.
