Workspaces are isolated environments that contain your entire ontology — concepts, terms, relationships, classes, locales, and team members.

## What is a workspace?

A workspace is the top-level container for everything in Black Ice. When you sign up, a workspace is automatically created for you. All your data lives within this workspace, and team members you invite share access to the same ontology.

## Workspace settings

Each workspace has configurable settings:

| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Name** | The workspace display name |
| **Source locale** | The primary language for your source terms (default: English US) |
| **Brand name** | Your product or company name |
| **Brand tagline** | A short brand description |
| **Brand positioning** | Positioning statement used for context in translations |

## Workspace limits by plan

| | **Free** | **Pro** | **Builder** |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workspaces | 1 | 1 | Up to 3 |
| Concepts | 50 | 350 | Unlimited |
| Markets | 3 | 20 | Unlimited |
| Team members | — | — | 10 |

## Creating additional workspaces

Builder plan users can create up to 3 workspaces. Navigate to the workspace selector in the sidebar and click **Create Workspace**.

Each workspace is fully independent — concepts, classes, locales, and team members are not shared between workspaces.

## Archiving and deleting

- **Archive** — Temporarily hides a workspace from the selector. Data is preserved.
- **Clear data** — Removes all ontology data (concepts, terms, relationships) while keeping the workspace shell.
- **Delete** — Permanently removes the workspace and all its data. This cannot be undone.
