In Playlab, creating your own personal workspace gives you a dedicated environment to build, test, and manage your applications. This guide will walk you through the process of setting up your personal workspace and explain why having one is valuable for your productivity and privacy.

Privacy & Control Matter

Your personal workspace creates a secure environment where only invited team members can access your apps and resources. This is essential for projects containing sensitive information or works-in-progress you’re not ready to share broadly.

Customize Your Workspace (Optional)

Make your workspace truly your own.

  1. Navigate to workspace settings
  2. Configure workspace-wide settings and preferences
  3. Remix any apps from other workspaces into this workspace that you’d like.
If you’d like to delete the original app, make sure you archive the previous app.

Why Create Your Personal Workspace?

There are several important benefits to creating your own personal Playlab workspace:

  • Privacy Control: Only you and invited members can access apps in your personal workspace, protecting sensitive information
  • Full Ownership: You have complete control over all aspects of your workspace as the Owner
  • Customization: Tailor the environment to your specific workflows and preferences
  • Organizational Freedom: Structure your projects however you prefer without affecting others
  • Testing Ground: Safely experiment with new app ideas before sharing them publicly
  • Intellectual Property Protection: Keep proprietary developments secure within your private workspace
  • Focused Environment: Work without distraction from other team members’ activities
  • Publishing Flexibility: Choose which apps to keep private and which to publish publicly
  • Role Management: Assign appropriate access levels when you bring collaborators into your projects

​
Understanding Workspace Roles

When adding members to your personal workspace, you’ll assign them one of these roles:

  • Owners (Admins): Have full control, including adding/removing members and changing roles
  • Creators: Can build and edit apps but cannot manage workspace membership
  • Reviewers: Can view app activity and structure but cannot make edits
  • Explorers: Can only use published apps within the workspace

Choose roles carefully based on how much access you want team members to have to your personal projects.
