# Workspaces

A workspace is the **top-level resource isolation unit** in AI Studio. Knowledge bases, workflows, connectors, compute instances, Catalog objects, and other resources all belong to a workspace, and data is isolated between workspaces. Data mode, Agent mode, and other views all switch within the same workspace.

Entry point: the **workspace switcher** on the left side of the top bar, which displays the current workspace name.

## My workspaces and joined workspaces

| Type | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| My workspaces | Workspaces that you created and own |
| Joined workspaces | Workspaces that others created and invited you to join |

You can switch among workspaces that you have permission to access. Account-level pages, such as the billing center and personal account settings, generally do not display the workspace switcher.

## Switch workspaces

1. Click the workspace switcher in the top bar.
2. Select a target under **My Workspaces** or **Joined Workspaces**.
3. The UI switches to the resources and data in that workspace.

After switching, you see a different isolated set of resources. Content in the current workspace does not appear in other workspaces.

## Create a workspace

1. At the bottom of the workspace panel, click **Add Workspace**. The exact label may vary by UI.
2. Enter a name. We recommend naming it after its project or purpose; observe the length limit shown in the UI.
3. After creation, the UI generally switches to the new workspace automatically.

## Rename a workspace

1. In the panel, hover over a workspace **that you own**.
2. Use the rename action, change the name, and save.

Workspaces that you joined are generally managed by their owners and cannot be renamed here.

## Delete a workspace

1. Use the delete action on a workspace that you own.
2. Confirm deletion. If you delete the current workspace, the UI switches to another available workspace.

Deletion removes resources in that workspace and is generally **irreversible**. The default workspace usually cannot be deleted. Before deletion, confirm that data and tasks have been backed up or are no longer needed.

## Copy a workspace ID

Copy the **workspace ID** from the workspace panel for API calls, cross-workspace data sharing, support tickets, and similar uses.
For cross-account [data sharing](share-data.md), the recipient often needs to provide this ID.

## Operation overview

| Operation | Scope | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Switch | All accessible workspaces | Data is completely isolated |
| Create | — | You can create multiple workspaces |
| Rename | My workspaces only | — |
| Delete | My workspaces only | The default workspace usually cannot be deleted; irreversible |
| Copy ID | Accessible workspaces | — |

## Home page and resource overview

After you enter a workspace, the home page or dashboard may summarize Catalog objects, tasks, resource status, and more, depending on the current product UI.
For in-depth monitoring and alerts, see [Monitoring and alerts](../monitoring/index.md).

## Members and permissions

For inviting members and assigning roles within a workspace, see [Member management](members.md). For complete user and role configuration, see [User permissions](../permissions/index.md).
