Personal and team workspaces

Both kinds hold boards, a library, storage, credits and people. A team workspace is the same container owned by an organisation rather than by you, and three things change in a way you feel daily.

What actually differs

	Personal	Team
Credits	Yours alone	One pool, everyone draws from it
Storage	Your allowance	A much larger pooled allowance
Members	You	Up to fifty seats
Library	What you made	What anybody made, visible to all
Who pays	You	The organisation

The shared credit pool is the one that changes behaviour. In a personal workspace your balance is a private budget; in a team it is a shared resource that a colleague’s video afternoon can move without warning.

Say it out loud before an expensive batch

Twenty runs of a flagship video model out of a shared pool is the kind of thing worth mentioning in a channel first. Nobody is stopped from doing it and everybody notices afterwards.

When a team workspace earns itself

Four signals, and any two of them are usually enough:

• More than one person is generating. Two people on personal plans cannot see each other’s assets, which means the same reference gets made twice
• The work outlives the person. A freelancer’s personal workspace leaves with them and takes the provenance with it
• Storage is the friction. Video and textured 3D reach an individual allowance faster than people expect
• Somebody needs to answer for it. Compliance questions want one library with one record, not five accounts

When it does not

If you are one person, a personal workspace is the right shape and a team one adds administration for nothing. Being able to invite somebody to a single board covers most of the occasional collaboration without changing the account you work in.

When you have both

Joining a team does not automatically leave you with two workspaces. If the team is the only one you belong to, it becomes your workspace outright. You keep a personal one alongside it when you belong to more than one team, or when you pay for a plan of your own.

Where both exist, most people use the team workspace for client work and the personal one for experiments and for anything that is not the company’s.

Switching between them is a menu, covered in switching, and what changes.

Credits move one way

You can move credits from your personal wallet into a team pool. They do not come back out, so send what a job needs rather than the balance. This is the quickest unblock when a team pool is empty and a purchase is waiting on somebody’s approval.
