# Workspace system

A workspace acts as a central hub for grouping, managing, and collaborating on terminology content within the application. Workspaces function as isolated sandboxes, allowing content to be separated by ownership and purpose while ensuring appropriate access permissions.

By default every user has a personal workspace. The personal workspace collects resources that are created by or shared with the user, and is intended for individual work or exploration.

Users who are members of an organization also have the option to switch to their organization workspace. The organization workspace contains resources owned by the organization, including shared assets intended for collaborative authoring, governance, and review. Access to organization workspaces and their contents is controlled by permissions defined at the organization and resource level.

The currently selected workspace is displayed in the top toolbar. The active workspace determines which content is visible across the main areas of the platform, i.e. Dashboard, Resources and Issues pages. When switching between workspaces, these pages are automatically filtered to show only the resources and activity associated with the selected workspace.
