Workspaces Overview

How workspaces work and creating your first workspace

Updated 2026-02-26

What Is a Workspace?

A workspace is the shared environment where your book projects, team members, and settings all live. Every Authorio account belongs to a workspace. Whether you are working solo or with a team, the workspace is the container that holds your entire book library and controls who has access to it.

When you sign up for Authorio and go through the onboarding flow, you create your first workspace as part of the account setup process. All books you create are stored within this workspace, and any team members you invite will share access to the same project library.

Creating a Workspace

Your first workspace is created during account registration. After verifying your email, you are prompted to name your workspace. Choose a name that represents your organization, business, or publishing operation. If you work independently, your own name or brand name works well.

The workspace name appears in the sidebar and helps identify which environment you are working in. You can update the name later from workspace settings.

Workspace Settings

Workspace settings allow the workspace owner to manage the core configuration of the environment. From the Team section in the dashboard sidebar, you can:

  • Rename the workspace to reflect changes in your business or team
  • View current members and their assigned roles
  • Manage invitations for new team members

Settings that affect billing, such as your plan and word budget, are managed separately under Billing & usage in the sidebar.

Switching Between Workspaces

If you belong to more than one workspace — for example, a personal workspace and a client workspace — you can switch between them from the sidebar. Each workspace maintains its own book library, team roster, and billing plan, so your projects stay organized and separated by context.

Switching workspaces does not affect your personal account settings. Your login credentials, email, and profile remain the same across all workspaces you belong to.
