Manage your workspace
A workspace is the shared home for your school or team: the people, the spaces and the assistants all live inside it. On the General settings page you can give the workspace a name and a logo so everyone recognises it, and, if you are an owner, you can leave it or delete it. The everyday settings are safe to change; the two big actions ask you to confirm first.
You do not need any technical knowledge. The name and logo update as soon as you save, and the actions that cannot be undone make you stop and confirm before they happen.
Before you start
You need a workspace and the right to manage it. Open Settings, then General. Naming and branding the workspace is open to members who can manage it; leaving and deleting are owner actions, and Sokra hides or blocks them when they do not apply to you. If you are the only owner, you cannot leave until you make someone else an owner.
Build your workspace settings
The General page has two parts: the everyday workspace details at the top, and a Danger Zone at the bottom for actions that cannot be undone. Work through the parts you need and leave the rest alone.
1. Open your workspace settings
Open Settings and go to General. The page shows your workspace details at the top and a clearly marked Danger Zone below.
2. Set the workspace name
Under Workspace Name, type the name your school or team should see. Keep it simple, like your school or organisation name. Click Save to apply it. The name shows up in the sidebar and in notifications, so a clear name helps everyone know where they are.
3. Add or change the workspace logo
Next to Workspace Logo, open the logo menu to Upload logo, or Change logo and Delete logo once one is set. Pick an image, then Save. The logo appears in the sidebar and notifications alongside the name.
4. Leave a workspace
In the Danger Zone, Leave workspace removes you from a workspace you no longer need to be in. If you are the only owner, this is blocked, and Sokra explains that you must assign another owner first, so the workspace is never left without one.
5. Delete a workspace
Delete workspace removes the whole workspace and everything in it, and it cannot be undone. Sokra lists what will be deleted and asks you to type the workspace name to confirm, so it cannot happen by accident. The Learn more about deleting your workspace link opens a panel that walks through exactly what is removed before you decide.
Data & safety
The everyday settings are easy to change and easy to change back: rename the workspace or swap the logo as often as you like. The two actions in the Danger Zone are different. Leaving is blocked while you are the only owner, so a workspace is never abandoned without someone in charge. Deleting is permanent, removes every space, file and assistant inside, and immediately ends access for all members, which is why Sokra asks you to type the workspace name first. When deleting is not the right move, the same panel suggests leaving instead.
Tips
- Use your school or organisation name. A plain, recognisable name in the sidebar saves everyone a second of guessing which workspace they are in.
- Read the "Learn more" panel before deleting. It lists exactly what is removed, which is the moment to be sure rather than after.
- If you just want out, leave instead of delete. Leaving keeps the workspace running for everyone else; deleting ends it for all of them.
Troubleshooting
The Leave workspace button is greyed out. You are the only owner, so leaving is blocked to keep the workspace from being left without one. Make another member an owner first, then you can leave.
The Delete button will not activate. Deleting asks you to type the workspace name exactly as it appears. The button stays inactive until the name you type matches.
I cannot find where to change the name or logo. Both live on the General settings page, at the top, above the Danger Zone. Open Settings, then General.
