Project Workspaces
Bind several projects into one named workspace so a product that spans a web app, an API and a mobile client is one operational set instead of a pile of ad-hoc links. Membership can track a sidebar group as it changes, or freeze today's members as a snapshot.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Almost nothing real lives in a single repository, but tools keep insisting it does — so you end up being the integration layer, remembering which four projects make up one product and re-explaining that to every agent you talk to. A workspace makes that grouping a first-class thing the app knows about: Mission Control cards carry a workspace badge, the Team Map can filter to it, the Tasks board can list every task across it, and Agent Input can hand an agent the whole product's context by name. The creation sheet shows you which projects actually resolve — with their avatars, colours and emoji — before you save, so a mistake surfaces while it is still cheap to fix.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Create the workspace
From Settings → Workspaces, or right-click a sidebar group → Create workspace…. Name it and give it a colour.
Choose where members come from
Build it from project group(s) or select projects directly, and tick Include nested groups when the group has children.
Pick Live or Snapshot
Live tracks the sidebar group as it changes; Snapshot freezes today’s members. The sheet lists the projects that actually resolve before you save.
Use it across the app
Mission Control cards carry a workspace badge, the Team Map gains a workspace chip and a Show outside toggle, and Tasks gains a Workspace view.
