Intro to Workareas
Workareas give every team in your organization their own dedicated area within Closot — complete with their own members, pages, permissions, and settings. Instead of mixing all of a company's content in one flat structure, workareas let engineering, marketing, HR, and operations each maintain their own organized home base, while still living inside the same workspace.
Create a Workarea
Create a New Workarea
- Scroll to the Workareas section in your sidebar
- Click the
+button - Enter a name, description, and icon
- Choose an access setting:
| Access Type | Who can join |
|---|---|
| Open | Anyone in the workspace can join and view the content |
| Private | Only invited members can see the workarea at all |
Add Members to a Workarea
Click ••• next to the workarea name → Add members
Search for members or groups, then assign a role:
| Role | Default access |
|---|---|
| Workarea owners | Full access to all pages in the workarea by default |
| Workarea members | Access determined by workarea owners on a per-page or per-section basis |
Use an Invite Link
Click ••• → Add members → Copy invite link
Share the link with anyone who should join the workarea. Because it grants entry to everything in the workarea, treat it like a credential — send it directly rather than posting it somewhere broadly visible.
Add or Move Pages
Create a new page inside a workarea:
Hover over the workarea name in the sidebar → click +
Move an existing page into a workarea:
Click ••• at the top right of the page → Move to → select the workarea destination
Modify Workarea Settings
Hover over the workarea in the sidebar → click ••• → Workarea settings
The panel shows the workarea name, its icon, and how many members it has, along with whether you've joined.
General Tab
- Change the workarea icon or upload a custom image
- Rename the workarea
- Add or edit the Description
- Set the workarea as a Default workarea, which requires everyone in the workspace to be a member
- Review the access levels applied to Workarea owners and Workarea members
Members Tab
- Add new members
- Change member roles
- Remove members
From the same panel you can also Manage workarea, or Leave workarea — which removes it from your sidebar without deleting it for anyone else.
