Creating a Workspace

Creating a new workspace in PropellerDeck takes only a few seconds. Each workspace starts as a blank environment with its own agent, file storage, and settings — ready to configure however you need.

How to Create a Workspace

1. In the left sidebar, click the Workspaces icon. The workspaces panel will open.
2. Click the New button at the top of the panel.
3. A dialog will appear asking for a workspace name and an optional description.
4. Name (required) — choose something short and recognisable.
5. Description (optional) — a brief note about the workspace's purpose.
6. Click Submit to confirm.

The workspace is created immediately and becomes available in your workspace list. PropellerDeck will switch you into the new workspace automatically.

Naming Tips

A clear, consistent naming convention makes it much easier to navigate between workspaces later. Consider including the client or project name and a scope or timeframe:

• Client A - Marketing
• Project X - Q1 Planning
• Internal Docs - Engineering
• Research - Competitor Analysis

Avoid vague names like "New Workspace" or "Test" — these become harder to tell apart once you have several workspaces.

What Happens After Creation

Your new workspace is empty by default: no files, no custom agent instructions, and the platform's default model selected. From here, you can:

• Upload files via the File Browser tab.
• Configure the agent, tools, and skills via Workspace Settings.
• Start a conversation in the Chat tab.

If your organisation has workspace templates set up, you can also start from a template rather than from scratch — see Workspace Templates. To switch between workspaces, see Switching Workspaces.
