How to Switch between Personal and Team Workspaces

The workspace selector is located in the upper-left corner of the Spaces interface, next to the Planner 5D logo.

  • Team — your Team Workspace and team name

To switch workspaces:

  1. Click the workspace selector.

  2. Choose the Personal or Team Workspace you want to open.

A checkmark shows which workspace is currently selected.

The workspace menu can also show information such as:

  • Subscription

  • Seats

  • AI credits

The initial selection is 3 seats, and the minimum supported number when creating a team is 2 seats.
