# Workspace

> Change your workspace's name, URL and logo, see who is allowed to edit them, and understand the difference between leaving a workspace and deleting it.

Source: https://endless.app/docs/settings/workspace

In the settings menu this page sits under **Workspace** and is listed as **"General"**; the
page itself is headed **"Workspace"**, with the subtitle *"General, branding, and security."*
It holds the three things that identify the workspace to everyone in it — its logo, its name
and its address — plus the way out for you, and the way out for the workspace.

**Anyone in the workspace can open it.** What changes with your role is whether the fields do
anything.

## Who can change what

<Callout type="warn">
  Editing anything on this page needs the &#x2A;*"Change workspace settings"**
  permission, which only an admin holds by default. Without it the page still
  opens and still shows you the workspace's logo, name and address — but the
  **Name** and **URL** fields are greyed out, there is **no "Save changes"
  button*&#x2A; in the header, the logo's &#x2A;*"Replace"*&#x2A; and &#x2A;*"Remove"** buttons
  aren't rendered, and the whole **Danger zone** is absent. See [Roles and
  permissions](/docs/governance/roles-and-permissions).
</Callout>

The one exception is &#x2A;*"Leave workspace"**, which is always there for everyone — leaving is
about you, not about the workspace's settings.

## Branding

*"How this workspace shows up."*

<Cards>
  <Card icon="<Photo />" title="Workspace logo">
    Shown next to the workspace everywhere it appears, including the switcher.
    The hint reads &#x2A;"PNG or SVG, square, transparent background."&#x2A; &#x2A;*"Upload"*&#x2A;
    to add one, &#x2A;*"Replace"*&#x2A; to swap it, &#x2A;*"Remove"** to fall back to the
    workspace's initial.
  </Card>

  <Card icon="<Users />" title="Name">
    What people call the workspace. Purely a label — changing it breaks nothing.
  </Card>

  <Card icon="<Globe />" title="URL">
    The workspace's address, entered after the fixed &#x2A;*endless.app/** prefix.
    This one is not just a label — see below.
  </Card>
</Cards>

The logo applies as soon as you upload it. **Name** and **URL*&#x2A; are a form: press &#x2A;*"Save
changes"** in the page header to commit them.

### Choosing a URL

Every page you open carries the workspace in its address, which is how two browser tabs can
hold two different workspaces at once — the mechanic is explained in [Workspaces and
members](/docs/concepts/workspaces-and-members).

Endless checks the address as you type it and refuses the four things that can't work:

* *"Use at least 3 characters."*
* *"Use lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens."*
* *"That URL is reserved. Choose a different one."* — a handful of words Endless keeps for
  itself.
* *"That URL is already taken. Choose a different one."* — another workspace has it.

<Callout type="warn">
  **Changing the URL changes every link into this workspace.** Bookmarks, links
  pasted into a chat or a doc, and anything a teammate saved will point at an
  address the workspace no longer answers to. Settle on one early, or leave it
  alone.
</Callout>

## Leaving vs. deleting

Two sections at the bottom of the page do superficially similar things and are not
interchangeable.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Leave workspace

    *"Remove yourself from this workspace. You keep your Endless account and can rejoin if you're
    invited again."&#x2A; The row spells out the cost: &#x2A;"You'll lose access to all its chats, canvases,
    and assets."*

    Available to everyone, whatever their role. Two situations stop it: if you're the last admin,
    Endless says &#x2A;"You're the last admin. Transfer admin role to another member first."&#x2A;; if
    you're the only member left, it says &#x2A;"You're the only member. Delete the workspace
    instead."*
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Delete workspace

    The **Danger zone*&#x2A; — &#x2A;"Deleting the workspace removes all chats, canvases, transcripts, and
    assets."&#x2A; — and it is as final as it sounds: &#x2A;"This can't be undone."*

    Only someone who can change workspace settings sees this section at all. Confirming it means
    typing the workspace's name, after a dialog that lists what goes: all canvases and their
    contents, all uploaded and generated assets, all chats and transcripts, and all member access
    and settings.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Callout type="info">
  Deleting the workspace is not the same as deleting your account, which is on
  [Profile](/docs/settings/profile) and takes any workspace where you're the only
  member with it.
