# Workspaces
A two-minute video guide to your workspace
A Workato workspace is your home base for building automations. This is where a dedicated team can collaborate, build recipes, and deploy recipes for a department, level of business, or organization unit.
Use projects to organize your assets by use case, initiative, or process and create logical sub-folders for smaller units of work.
# What is in my workspace?
Your workspace is an operationally independent hub that contains projects, Workato Tools, and other enabled capabilities.
Each workspace has its own usage limits (recipe and task limits).
USING A MANAGED WORKSPACE?
Managed workspaces share the same added capabilities as the HQ workspace. This includes API platform and on-prem connectivity. Speak to your Customer Success Manager to enable these features in your managed workspaces.

# Collaboration in a workspace
Enable collaboration with the workspace collaborators feature. Workato supports secure, flexible collaboration within a workspace, allowing teams to collaborate while maintaining development and security best practices.
Learn how workspaces support collaboration between team members.
# Do I need multiple workspaces?
As Workato grows with your organization, the scale and complexity of business processes require collaboration between several users, including recipe builders and team admins. Use individual workspaces to represent a department, level of business, or an organizational unit.

# Settings
Settings in Workato are organized at two levels:
- Profile settings include personal settings for your individual account, including profile information, password, security preferences, and workspace memberships. You can access these settings by clicking your user icon and selecting Profile settings.
- Workspace admin settings are workspace-wide settings that affect all collaborators and require admin privileges. Control workspace configuration, authentication, security, and other administrative features. You can access these settings by going to Workspace admin > Settings.
