Common Questions About Workspaces

Can we delete a workspace we no longer need?
You can archive a workspace to remove it from the list; however, this preserves all of the client information and files. If necessary, you can delete a workspace that has been archived. This action is permanent; all information and files for the workspace will be lost.

To delete an archived workspace permanently

  1. Click the (Options) icon at the top of the Workspaces list and select Show Archive.
  2. Select the workspace and click Delete Clients.
  3. Click Delete to confirm.

For additional information, see the Archiving article.

I can’t see All Workspaces, only My Workspaces. Why is this?
Users without Owner permissions do not have rights to workspaces they are not assigned. Select My Workspaces to see a list of clients you are assigned. If you need access to additional workspaces, a user with Owner access can assign you to that workspace, or they can change your permission level.
