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.
