Your workspaceStart here
Your workspace is your team's home on Sheetward. It is created when you sign up, usually named for your company or team, and it holds everything: your plan, your people, your billing and every app you build.
Picture it this way: the workspace is the building and each app is a room inside it. The building owns what everyone shares — the subscription, the team, the settings — while each room is one tool you use day to day: the expense-claims app, the price list, the timesheet.
Everyone signs in to one workspace. A workspace role — Admin, Builder or Member — says who can build and manage.
Your team's shared home: members, plan and settings in one place, holding any number of apps.
Each app is generated from its own workbook and keeps its data isolated — nothing mixes, and access is granted per app.
Everything your team shares lives in the workspace:
- Your plan and limits — your subscription tier and the allowances that apply across all your apps: how many apps you can create, plus your plan's language, forms-per-app and dashboard allowances.
- Your people — everyone in the workspace and their role (owner, admin, builder or member), managed on the Admin console → Users page.
- Billing and usage — your subscription, your renewal date and live usage meters, all in one place in the Admin console.
- Shared settings — branding, regional and display defaults, and the languages your workspace supports, applied everywhere at once.
- Your apps — every app you build from a workbook, side by side on your My Apps home page. The side panel filters them by status, by the categories your operator has set up (business functions such as Finance or Operations) and by features — dashboards, line items, multiple forms, languages and more. The panel can be hidden and shown from the toggle at the start of the search row; your choice is remembered on this browser.
- Data safety — workspace-wide backups, the recycle bin and the audit log, protecting every app inside.
Workspace vs. app — the difference in one line. The workspace is the account; an app is one tool inside it. One workspace can hold many apps — a purchase-order app, a price list, a timesheet — all sharing the workspace's plan, people and settings. Each app keeps its own forms and its own data, separate from every other app.
| Aspect | Workspace | App |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Your team's account and home on Sheetward. | One web application, built from one workbook. |
| How you get one | Created when you sign up. | Created when you upload a workbook with New App. |
| How many | One per account — unless your plan allows several (see below). | Many per workspace, up to your plan's app limit. |
| What it holds | Your plan, members, billing, branding and all your apps. | Its own forms, records and per-app members. |
| Roles | Owner, admin, builder or member — across the whole workspace. | Owner, editor or viewer — for that one app. |
| Where you find it | The workspace switcher and the Admin console. | A tile on your My Apps page. |
Your IDs. Every workspace has a permanent Workspace ID (like WS-3F8N2RQ7YXBPQR) and every account a permanent Account ID (like ACC-7H2KQ9PX4M3V8N). Names and email addresses can change; these never do — so they always point to exactly your workspace and account.
