Use Workspaces to manage projects, products, customers, teams, and more.
A Workspace is typically used per project, and will be accessible to all those participating in the project. The Workspace is where you and your team members will create Tasks and track progress towards Milestones.

Use the breadcrumbs to quickly navigate between Workspaces and Boards. 

To drill down into Tasks, Members, Epics, Milestones or Boards of a specific Workspace, click on the relevant link in the Workspace card.

A Workspace

Select a Workspace and use the different tabs to get a status of your tasks, by members, Epics, Milestones or Boards.

Click on the eye icon for Epics, Milestones or Boards to see associated assignees.

To see how many Tasks an assignee has in each status, hover over a status to see how many tasks assignees have in that status. Hover over the user to see more details, including the user's role and email address.

Drill into Tasks

Toggle Show Tasks to easily access Tasks directly from Milestone, Epic or Board views in the Workspace.

You can also drag and drop Tasks between Epics, Milestones, Boards, and members. 

Viewing the Summary

The Summary shows you the status of the Tasks in your Workspace.

You can see the status based on the number of Tasks, estimated effort or remaining effort. 

Below the Tasks status, you can view members, and by hovering over an avatar, see details about the member, including a task status.

Inviting and Managing Members

• Invite a new member:
  • In the Summary pane, click Invite new member.
    
    
    Type in the name of the member or enter the email address for a new member.

• Member info: See a Tasks status for the member, by number of Tasks, estimated effort, and remaining effort.
  
  
• Revoke a member: Click on the menu and select Revoke Member. When you remoke a member from the Workspace, they will no longer be able to access the Workspace and all of its tasks. The member’s Tasks remain assigned to the member until reassigned to another member.
  
  Note: The member will continue to appear in the Members tab as a Former Member until all the member's Tasks have been reassigned.
• View Tasks: For each member, you can see a Tasks status in the card. Select Show Tasks to see a detailed Tasks view per member.
