Workspace Basics

The workspace is the shared place where notebooks, jobs, repos, dashboards, and other assets live.

Why it matters

People need one navigable place to create, organize, and share work without hunting through disconnected tools.

Real-world example

A team keeps notebooks for ingestion, a repo for source control, and dashboards in the same workspace.

Common mistake

Treating the workspace as just a folder browser. It is the operational surface of the platform.
