A workspace keeps related chats, channels, canvases, agents, tasks, and knowledge together. Use one workspace for one team, client, project, or long-running topic. Your organization contains your people and workspaces. Direct messages also belong to the organization, so you can message a teammate even when you are working in different workspaces.

​
Organization or workspace?

  • An organization is the outer account for a company or team. It owns membership, billing, and shared plan limits.
  • A workspace is a focused area inside that organization. It owns its chats, channels, canvases, agents, tasks, members, and Workspace Context.
When you create an organization, Mantle also creates its shared default workspace. Everyone invited to the organization gets access to that default workspace. Create more workspaces when a project needs different members, knowledge, or access rules.

​
Create an organization

Open the organization menu, choose Create organization, enter the team or company name, and select Create. You can rename the new default workspace from its settings.

​
Create a workspace

1

Open the creation menu

Select the + beside the workspace selector.
2

Choose New Workspace

Enter a short name and, if useful, choose an icon.
3

Choose its visibility

Select Public if anyone in your organization should be able to find and join it. Select Private if only invited members should have access.
Start with a few broad workspaces. Create a new one when the members, knowledge, or access rules are meaningfully different.

​
Invite people

Open the workspace menu and choose Invite and manage members. You can:
  • add an existing member of your organization;
  • send an email invitation;
  • create an invitation link and choose when it expires.
Workspace roles are Member, Workspace admin, and Owner. Members can take part in the work. Admins can also manage the workspace and its members. The owner has full control. See Members and permissions for a plain-language role guide.

​
Add workspace context

Go to Workspace settings → Context to tell AI how to work in this workspace. You can add:
  • instructions, such as writing style or company rules;
  • reference files;
  • selected canvases.
Instructions are considered in every AI conversation in the workspace. Mantle uses relevant parts of files and added canvases when they help answer a question. Learn more in Workspace knowledge.

​
Keep the workspace tidy

  • Create folders for related chats and channels.
  • Pin work you return to often.
  • Rename items so search results make sense later.
  • Archive finished work instead of leaving it in the active list.
  • Use search when you remember the content but not its location.
Workspace admins and owners can manage shared structure. A regular member can manage the chats they created.

​
Switch or archive a workspace

Use the workspace switcher to move between projects. From the workspace menu, an owner or admin can edit settings, manage members, or archive an inactive workspace. Archiving removes the workspace from everyday use without treating its history like active work. Check access and important exports before deleting anything permanently.
A public workspace is public only inside your organization. A public share link is different: anyone who has that link may be able to view the shared chat or canvas. See Sharing outside Mantle.
