Share a set of workspaces with your team
Workona generates a dedicated team section in the sidebar when you create a team to make it easy for your team to share workspaces. This section, along with the workspaces you add to it, will appear in the sidebar of each team member’s account.
- Open Workona.
- Locate the team section within the sidebar. Look for your team name in all caps, with a people icon to the right of it.
- From the sidebar, drag and drop an existing workspace into the team section, or create a workspace directly in the section.
- Select whether team members should have permission to edit the workspace.
- All team members will instantly see the workspace appear within the team section.
Keep organized with multiple team sections
Teams can create multiple team sections to keep shared workspaces organized. For example, you might create one team section called 'Client Projects' and another called 'Team Meetings'.
Manage team workspaces with sections
You must be a team admin to manage team workspaces and team sections. Bring order to your team's collaboration by organizing your team workspaces into named team sections.
For example, you might have one team section called "Clients" that contain workspaces for each of your active client projects (e.g. Client Workspace A, Client Workspace B), and another team section called "Client Management" that contain workspaces for your team's various client management activities (e.g. Onboarding, Trainings).
