Workspaces

When you’re using zeroheight, a Workspace is where everything lives, including all of your styleguides, design assets, code resources, and integrations. All of our plans include one Workspace. But, with our Enterprise plan, you have the option to add additional Workspaces.

An additional Workspace is a great idea for lots of teams building design systems. Sister companies might choose to share a single zeroheight account with multiple Workspaces to simplify procurement while maintaining separate places to work. Similarly, a design agency working with multiple clients might choose Workspaces to have a single place for Agency employees to log in while keeping client resources separate.

How do Workspaces work?

Once you’ve enabled Workspaces on your Enterprise account, you’ll only need to follow two steps.

1. Create and name your Workspaces. Creating a Workspace gives your team a separate place to work. So, if I owned both Independence Inn and Luke’s Diner, I’d create a Workspace for each. This ensures each company is able to maintain separate branding, code assets, and design uploads.
2. Add editors and reviewers to each Workspace. With Workspaces, you can have editors assigned to all of them, some of them, or just one. So, if Kirk works at both Independence Inn and Luke’s Diner, you can add him as an editor in both Workspaces. And if Suki only works at Independence Inn, you can add her as an editor for that account and she’d have no access to edit (or even view) the styleguides associated with Luke’s Diner.

Who can see information in Workspaces?

That’s totally up to you! There are four roles for Enterprise accounts with Workspaces enabled:

• Owners. Owners can see everything in every Workspace. And, they have permission to add administrators, editors, and reviewers.
• Administrators. Administrators have access to all of the Workspaces and can invite editors to one or more Workspaces.
• Editors. Editors have access only to the Workspace(s) they’ve been invited to.
• Reviewers. Reviewers have comment-only access to view one or more styleguides.

What features do I have access to with Workspaces?

The short answer is that you have access to a zeroheight Enterprise plan with its benefits. Workspaces is an add-on to our Enterprise plan, so you can view analytics, utilize styleguide releases, leverage synced pages, and a whole lot more. The cool part is that information remains separate. So, if you’re hoping to understand design system adoption for Luke’s Diner, the numbers won’t be conflated by the rise in styleguide viewers at the Independence Inn.
