One account, many workspaces

Your account is how you sign in, and it follows you everywhere. Switching between workspaces, and what a new one starts as.

Your account is personal: your email address, your passkeys, your two-factor setup. A workspace is shared. You sign in with the account, then work inside a workspace.

One account can belong to as many workspaces as you have been invited to or created. Each is entirely independent, and switching between them is like switching organizations.

Signing in is an account concern; everything you then do is a workspace concern. See Your account.

Switching

Select the workspace name at the top of the sidebar. It opens the Lobby, which lists every workspace you belong to, most recently used first, and a tab for pending invitations.

Signing in lands you on the Lobby too.

Each workspace also has its own address, so you can bookmark one directly and go straight there. You still have to be a member.

Creating another

From the Lobby, choose Create a workspace and give it a name. You become its Owner.

A new workspace starts empty and, in most cases, without a trial: the free trial is once per person, so if you already belong to a workspace, or have a pending invitation to one, a workspace you create afterwards does not come with another. See Free trial.

Joining one

If you sign up by following an invitation link, or accept an invitation in the Lobby, you join that workspace directly. No new workspace is created for you and no trial starts, because you are entering someone else's workspace rather than starting your own.

Leaving one

Go to Settings > Members, choose Leave workspace, and type the workspace name to confirm. Your Screenly account is untouched and your other workspaces are unaffected. Getting back in takes a new invitation.

The Owner cannot do this. Ownership has to be transferred first. See Managing members.
