Understand workspace isolation

Learn when identity workspaces stay isolated and when to use a collaborative workspace instead.

Updated: 2026-03-07

Core concept

Each identity is isolated so app data does not mix across identities by default.

Collaborative workspaces are separate top-level spaces that let multiple identities share Notes, Calendar, and Kanban when you want joint planning instead of isolation.

What is isolated

  • Mail inbox and message state.
  • Notes and folders.
  • Tasks and groups.
  • Calendar events.

What can be shared

  • Workspace Notes with edit history and actor attribution.
  • Workspace Calendar events with creator and modifier tracking.
  • Workspace Kanban cards with one or more assignees.

Why it helps

Isolation makes it easier to retire, rotate, or audit identity-specific workflows.

Collaborative workspaces are better when several identities need to coordinate inside the same planning surface without merging their full identity data.
