Hi David! Did you recently create your account (as in, during the month of March)?

Yes - I think so.

Workspaces created after Feb 23 operate under the new workspace model, which means that your username is no longer automatically assigned to a workspace, and instead you deliberately create a different/new workspace. Looks like yours is

@sam-hai

? You can only publish a notebook within a workspace, which means you will either need to do so under @sam-hai, or alternatively to create a new personal workspace, e.g.

@drobbins-viz

Ah, right on. In that case I guess this is just a bug report about the doc page I linked above. Thanks for the clarification 👍🏻

Thank you! Good indeed to have eyes on the docs! Much appreciated!

Yeah, the docs are somewhat problematic, in that the majority of users (created before Feb 23, 2023) will have individual (legacy) workspaces, whereas new users will have the new workspaces that can have multiple members (formerly known as team workspaces). We want to make it easier for people to collaborate and these new unified workspaces simplifies the model! However, we have a large number of legacy (individual) workspaces and hence the documentation is mainly targeting those at this point. We are looking into how we can migrate existing individual accounts to a workspace model without impacting those users at which point we will update the docs to match. But I think we should look into adding some pointers to the new documentation at the top of the docs describing the (legacy) workspaces. Thanks for the nudge.

@Cobus Theunissen hi! i tried to get my students in the class to sign up for an Observable account a few days ago and it was rather confusing. When each student is trying to sign up each must also create a workspace? There is no way to bypass creating a workspace? We just need one workspace and 20 users, not 20 workspaces and 20 users...

@angie If you invite them to your workspace, then they can join that workspace (from the invitation email) without creating their own workspaces. Before, they would have had individual workspaces as well as their ‘team’ workspace, but now, when you invite someone new to a workspace, that is the only workspace they have, which should be a lot less confusing for them.

ok i see
