Share a set of spaces with your team

Workona generates a dedicated team section in the sidebar when you create a team to make it easy for your team to share spaces. This section, along with the spaces you add to it, will appear in the sidebar of each team member’s account.

  1. Open Workona.
  2. Locate the team section within the sidebar. Look for your team name in all caps, with a people icon to the right of it.
  3. From the sidebar, drag and drop an existing space into the team section, or create a space directly in the section.
  4. Select whether team members should have permission to edit the space.
  5. All team members will instantly see the space appear within the team section.
Keep organized with multiple team sections
Teams can create multiple team sections to keep shared spaces organized. For example, you might create one team section called 'Client Projects' and another called 'Team Meetings'.

Manage team spaces with sections

Bring order to your team's collaboration by organizing your team spaces into named team sections.
