A workspace is your canvas. It’s where you bring together every source you’re working with — PDFs, videos, notes, websites, audio — and arrange them spatially so you can see everything at once. Each workspace is independent, with its own cards, chat threads, and history.
Think of it like a desk: you spread out your materials, move things around until they make sense, and work alongside an AI that sees exactly what you point it to.
Templates
When you create a workspace, you choose a starting point.
| Template | What you get |
|---|
| Blank | An empty canvas. Nothing is pre-loaded. Start by adding your own cards. |
| Getting started | A canvas pre-loaded with three sample cards — a document, a quiz, and a flashcard deck — so you can explore the interface without adding content first. |
If this is your first workspace, choose Getting started. The sample cards are placeholder content you can replace with your own material once you’re familiar with the layout.
Workspace settings
Each workspace has a set of properties you can update at any time from the workspace settings panel.
| Setting | Description |
|---|
| Name | The display name shown in your dashboard and at the top of the canvas. |
| Icon | An emoji or icon that appears alongside the workspace name. |
| Color | A color accent used to visually distinguish the workspace in your dashboard. |
| Visibility | Controls who can access the workspace. Set to private (only you and invited collaborators) or public (anyone with the link can view). |
Collaboration
You can invite other people to a workspace. Each collaborator is assigned one of three permission levels.
| Role | What they can do |
|---|
| Viewer | Read-only access. Can open and view cards and chat threads, but cannot make changes. |
| Editor | Can add, edit, and delete cards, and participate in chat. Cannot manage collaborators or workspace settings. |
| Owner | Full access, including managing collaborators and workspace settings. The person who created the workspace is always the owner. |
You can share a workspace publicly using a share link. Public workspaces are viewable by anyone with the link — they are not editable by anonymous visitors.
Version history
ThinkEx automatically saves a history of every change made to your workspace. You can open version history to review how the workspace has evolved over time and to see who made each change.
