# Workspaces (https://docs.fuser.studio/docs/teams/workspaces)

A workspace is your account in Fuser — your billing root, your member list, and the umbrella for everything you create. You can belong to as many workspaces as you've been invited to, plus a personal one of your own.

This page covers the workspace lifecycle: creating one, switching between them, and editing the workspace profile (name, slug, avatar). For everything inside the workspace — members, teams, folders, sharing — see the rest of this section.

## Creating a Workspace [#creating-a-workspace]

    ### Open the workspace switcher [#open-the-workspace-switcher]

    Click the **Workspace switcher** in the top bar, then **Create a new workspace**.

    ### Name the workspace and pick a slug [#name-the-workspace-and-pick-a-slug]

    * **Workspace Name** — what teammates see in the switcher and across the app. Letters, numbers, and spaces, up to 100 characters.
    * **URL Slug** — the unique identifier in your workspace URL (`/w/<slug>`). Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens, no leading or trailing hyphen. Fuser auto-suggests a slug from the name and checks availability as you type — a checkmark means it's free, a warning means it's taken.

    ### Submit [#submit]

    Fuser creates the workspace, makes you its **Owner**, and switches you into it.

> [!NOTE] Reserved names
>
> A short list of slugs is reserved for system routes (`admin`, `api`, and similar). If yours is rejected, pick a more specific one — `acme`, `acme-studio`, `acme-team`.

## Switching Workspaces [#switching-workspaces]

The **Workspace switcher** in the top bar lists every workspace you belong to, including your **Personal Workspace**. Click any entry to switch — Fuser sets it as your active workspace and navigates to its home.

Inside the switcher you also get:

* A search field to filter when you have many workspaces.
* A shortcut to your **Profile** and global **Settings**.
* A **Sign out** button.
* The **Create a new workspace** entry described above.

The switcher remembers your last-used workspace, so opening Fuser puts you back where you were.

## Editing the Workspace Profile [#editing-the-workspace-profile]

Workspace **Owners** and **Admins** can rename the workspace, change its URL, and upload an avatar.

    ### Open Workspace Settings [#open-workspace-settings]

    Open **Settings** from the workspace switcher (or from any settings entry point), pick the **Workspace** tab, then the **Settings** sub-tab.

    ### Edit the fields you want to change [#edit-the-fields-you-want-to-change]

    * **Workspace Name** — same rules as on creation. Saving updates every place the name appears.
    * **URL Slug** — same validation as on creation, with live availability checks. Changing the slug changes your workspace's URL; existing direct links to projects continue to work.
    * **Avatar** — upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP. The avatar shows in the switcher and on shared content.

    ### Save Changes [#save-changes]

    Click **Save Changes** to apply. The button stays disabled until you've made an edit and the slug (if changed) is available.

> [!WARNING] Changing the slug rewrites your URL
>
> If you change the URL slug, the workspace's URL changes immediately. Anyone with a bookmark to `/w/<old-slug>` will need an updated link. Project links inside the workspace keep working through Fuser's redirect.

## Leaving a Workspace [#leaving-a-workspace]

Members (non-Owners) can leave a workspace they've been invited to. Open **Settings → Workspace → Settings** and click **Leave Workspace** at the bottom of the panel. Leaving:

* Removes you from the member list and every team you belonged to.
* Revokes your access to every project, folder, and share scoped to that workspace.
* Does **not** affect your personal projects (those made outside any workspace).
* Does **not** affect projects you created inside the workspace — those stay with the workspace and the team that owned them.

If you change your mind, you'll need to be re-invited.

## Deleting a Workspace [#deleting-a-workspace]

Only **Owners** can delete a workspace. Open **Settings → Workspace → Settings** and click **Delete Workspace** at the bottom. Confirm in the modal.

Deletion is **irreversible** and cascades:

* All members are removed and pending invitations are revoked.
* Every team, folder, and project inside the workspace is deleted.
* All shares pointing into the workspace are dropped.
* The active subscription is cancelled.
* Any **remaining workspace credits** are transferred to the Owner's personal credit balance (the same flow as a normal cancellation — see [Workspace Billing](https://docs.fuser.studio/docs/teams/workspace-billing.md#cancellation--the-7-day-grace-period)).
