Create, Join & Leave Workareas
Workareas carve your workspace into dedicated zones — one per team, project, or department. Join only the ones you actively work in to keep your sidebar clean 📚
Browse Workareas
To see everything available:
- In the left sidebar, click
••• More - At the top, you'll see the workareas you're already a member of

note
Private workareas exist. Only members or owners can invite others to join them — and they're completely hidden from non-members.
