Workspaces & teams
Separate spaces for your life, your family, and your work — and how to share them.
Everything in Jackdaw lives inside a workspace — its own context, its own connected sources, its own conversations. You can have several and switch between them freely, so your work life and home life stay cleanly separated.
Workspace kinds
When you create a workspace you pick a kind, which tailors its layout and templates:
- Personal — just you.
- Family — a shared household space.
- Work — a team space.
Create a new one any time, switch with the workspace switcher, and rename it if you're an admin. Switching swaps your whole context — connections and wiki included.
Inviting people
Family and work workspaces are shared. Invite people with a link and give each person a role:
- Admin — full control, including members and settings.
- Editor — can read and edit the shared context.
- Viewer — can read.
You can remove members, leave a workspace, or transfer ownership to someone else.
Connecting sources for a team
In a work workspace, an admin can install an organization connection for the workspace, so teammates do not each have to connect the same provider. Personal connections stay personal; shared connections are clearly marked.
An admin chooses which organization source containers to sync. Imported content still follows its source permissions, so connecting a provider does not make every item readable by every member. See Connect sources.
If Jackdaw later suggests that a fact visible to only a subset of members belongs with the whole workspace, a person must decide whether to widen that fact's visibility. See Workspace sharing suggestions.
