A workspace holds all your projects for one account. If you have two accounts, for example one for work and one for home, you keep each in its own workspace and switch between them. Each workspace signs in with its own account and keeps its own encrypted data on your device. An account can own one workspace on each device.

Switch to another workspace#

On Desktop and Web
  1. Click the workspace's name at the top of the sidebar.
  2. Click the workspace you want.

The current workspace has a tick. A workspace you are signed out of asks you to sign in again with its account.

  2. Choose Sign out….

Click the workspace's name at the top of the sidebar, then ⋯ on its row, then Delete workspace….

On Tablet, Foldable and Phone

In the list of workspaces, tap ⋯ on the workspace's row, then Delete Workspace…Delete workspace….

This removes the workspace and its data from this device. Before it does, Jotifi checks that all your changes have synced, and warns you if some have not. At least one workspace must remain. Your account and what it has synced are not deleted: to delete those, see Your account, signing out and deleting it.
