A workspace is your primary environment in Bower — everything you capture, organise, and share lives inside one. You can create multiple workspaces for different projects, labs, or contexts.

When to create a new workspace

Workspaces are isolated from each other — notes, collections, members, and settings in one workspace are not visible to another. This makes workspaces the right level of separation for:
  • Different research projects that shouldn’t be mixed
  • A personal workspace separate from a shared lab workspace
  • Client or collaboration contexts that require data separation
If you want people to share access to the same notes, they should be in the same workspace. If you want strict separation, use different workspaces.

How to create a workspace

1

Go to Settings > Workspace Management

2

Click Create new workspace

3

Enter a workspace name

4

Click Create

You’ll be taken into the new workspace immediately. It starts empty.

After creation

  • You are the owner of the new workspace.
  • No members are added by default — you’ll need to invite them separately.
  • All capture, import, and Bird functionality is available immediately.
  • Your other workspaces remain unaffected.

Workspace limits

During Beta, there is no limit on the number of workspaces you can create. Storage and member limits depend on your plan.
