What is a workspace?

A short orientation to workspaces in Stacklist: what they hold, the kinds you get on a Team plan or above, and how org owners use them to separate work.

Written by Kyle Hudson

Every stack you make on a Team plan or above lives inside a workspace. If a stack is the collection and a card is the saved link inside it, a workspace is the room your stacks live in.

The idea

Workspaces are how teams organize stacks for different audiences and projects. They control who can see what, who can edit, and how content stays separated when more than one person is involved.

On the Solo plan you don't need workspaces — your account is your account, and your stacks belong to you. Workspaces show up when you upgrade to Team, Agency, Organization, or Enterprise.

What you get on a Team plan or above

When you move to a Team plan or above, your account becomes an organization with two workspaces by default:

  • Private workspace. The org owner's space. Stacks here belong to the owner and aren't visible to anyone else by default.

  • Shared workspace. Where teammates collaborate. The org owner adds people, and stacks here are visible to everyone in the workspace.

That covers most teams. Beyond the default two, the org owner can spin up additional private workspaces and add only select people. Use those when a sub-team or a sensitive project needs its own room — for example, a real estate brokerage where each agent has a private space for their own listings, or an agency where each client gets a separate workspace.

When to use which

  • You're solo and just curating. No workspaces. Your account is the container. Stacks are public or private based on the toggle on each stack.

  • You're a small team working on shared content together. Default Shared workspace.

  • You're an org owner who needs some stacks visible only to yourself. Default Private workspace.

  • You're managing sub-teams, agency clients, or sensitive projects. Spin up additional private workspaces and add only the right people.
