Create and switch workspaces

You choose your first workspace after sign-up, on the page that asks where you want to start. When you need another (a Team workspace for collaboration, or a separate space for a different group), use the Create a workspace page. You can belong to as many workspaces as you like and switch between them from the sidebar.

Create a workspace

Open the workspace switcher in the left sidebar and choose Create a workspace (it also lives at /new-workspace). The page walks you through four choices:

1. Name the workspaceAs you type, Laya derives a URL handle and an initials avatar live, so you can see the address the workspace will get.
2. Pick an accent colourChoose one of the five accent swatches: Indigo, Cyan, Green, Amber or Rose.
3. Choose a starting boardPick a Kanban board, a Scrum board, connecting a tool, composing a master board, or no board at all.
4. Create itThe button label reflects your choice: "Create workspace & open Kanban board", "… & open Scrum board", "… & connect a tool", "… & compose master board", or "Create empty workspace".

You land in the new workspace immediately, at the starting point you chose. If you picked "connect a tool", see Connect your first tool for what comes next.

Switch between workspaces

The workspace switcher lives in the left sidebar. It groups your workspaces under three headings (Invitations, Personal and Team workspaces), with the Create a workspace action at the bottom.

• Pending invitations appear inline at the top with an Accept button. Accepting takes you straight into the joined workspace.
• Laya remembers your last-focused workspace, so the sidebar stays on it even while you are on personal pages such as Home, Inbox or My issues.
• The switcher refreshes when you return to the browser tab, and updates live when your role changes or you are added to (or removed from) a workspace.
