A workspace in KiteSuite is a central hub for organizing and managing multiple projects. Create a workspace by naming it, setting a domain, and optionally inviting team members. Existing users can create new workspaces from their profile. Switch between different workspaces from your profile with the plus icon. Workspace settings provide details like name, owner, and storage. You can rename the workspace and manage storage for each workspace.
In this article, we’ll show you how to easily manage and control your KiteSuite workspace.
Think of a workspace as a digital container, much like a folder on your computer. Within this workspace, you have the flexibility to organize and manage multiple projects efficiently. It serves as a central hub where you can keep everything neatly arranged, making it easier to collaborate and stay organized across various tasks.

How to create a workspace
1st way
If you are a new user in the kite after successfully signing up, you can reach out to the following screen.
Step 1: Name Your Workspace: Give your workspace a name that makes sense to you.
Step 2: Domain Name: A web address (domain name) will be made automatically. You can change it if you like.
For example, if you named your workspace "My Workspace-1" and the domain is "mw22", your web address will be "kiteweb.rudraserver.com/mw22".
As per the above input, your URL would be “kiteweb.rudraserver.com/mw22/”.
Step 3: Create Workspace: Click this button.
Step 4: Team or No Team: Now, you have two choices.
Invite Team Members: You can add people to your workspace right away.
Just Me: If you want to add members later, pick this one for now.
Step 5: Continue: Click the button.
Step 6: Create a Project: You'll get to a screen where you can make your first project.
That's it! Your workspace is ready to go. Congratulations!
2nd way
If you're already in a workspace, you can create another one like this:
Step1: Click on your profile, then the "Switch” button
Step 2: The “Present” text represents the current workspace. Click "Create Workspace".
Step 3: Follow the same steps as the first way.
Congrats, you've made your workspace!
Switch to the workspace
KiteSuite offers a versatile feature that allows you to create and manage multiple workspaces with ease. You can create as many workspaces as needed and seamlessly switch between them using the following steps:
Clicking on your user profile icon.
If you currently have only one workspace (let's call it "Workspace1"), it will be the only one visible in the workspace panel.
When you create a second workspace, it automatically add in the list. This means that any previously created workspaces, such as "Workspace1," will be on 2nd number . This reordering process continues as you create new workspaces.
The most recently created workspace, which will be displayed at the bottom of the list. Meanwhile, the first workspace you created will be available on the top of the last. This dynamic arrangement ensures that your most actively used workspaces are easily accessible at the beginning of your workspace list.
In your profile's workspace list, you'll find only the current open workespace
To switch to a workspace, simply click on the Switch icon. This will open up a menu displaying all your workspaces.
From this list, you can select the specific workspace you want to switch to, allowing for seamless navigation between your various workspaces.
You have the flexibility to be actively engaged in multiple workspaces simultaneously. There are no restrictions that require you to focus on just one workspace at a time. You can freely access and work within multiple workspaces according to your needs and preferences.
Workspace setting
In the workspace settings, you can find all the important details about your workspace. This includes the workspace name, owner, and other information. Let's break it down:
Workspace detail
To access your workspace details, Click on the profile -> click on the “Workspace Setting” button. On this page, you'll see:
Workspace name
This is the name of your workspace.
Workspace key
You can find and copy the workspace key.
Type & Owner
Check the type of workspace and who the owner is.This type is set within the signup flow.
Total storage
See how much storage space your workspace has. The amount depends on your subscription plan.
What the KiteSuite is considered in storage
In KiteSuite, "storage" includes all the files and attachments you add. This means anything you upload, whether it's in an item, an item comment, a document section, or a chat (project or individual), takes up storage space.
Each attachment can be as big as 250 MB, regardless of your subscription plan. So, if you've uploaded 10 files, your storage is calculated as 10 files multiplied by 250 MB each.
In short, whenever you put something in KiteSuite, it uses up your storage space, and each attachment can be up to 250 MB in size, no matter your plan.
Rename the workspace
You can also change your workspace's name from the workspace settings page.
Step 1: Click on the profile -> click on the “Workspace Setting” button.
Step 2: Click “Edit.”
Step 3: Change the workspace name. Click “Save.”
