# Manage your Workspace settings

Updated 29 September 2026

On this page

Account & settings

Workspace settings control its identity, access, pages, connected sources, notifications, and glossary.

## Before you start

You need to be a Workspace Owner or a Company admin to change Workspace settings. Some controls may be read-only for other Members.

## Open Workspace settings

1. Open the Workspace and select **Workspace settings** in its header, or open your user menu and select **Settings** .
2. Under **Workspace settings** in the left navigation, choose the Workspace.

The current Workspace settings tabs are:

- **General**
- **Members**
- **Pages**
- **Meetings & channels**
- **Notifications**
- **Glossary**

## General

Use General to review or change the Workspace’s name, type, parent, appearance, and codename. The **Parent** field places it beneath another Workspace. Members of ancestor Workspaces inherit access, so review access before changing the parent.

The Workspace’s purpose is the opening of its **Context** page. Select **Open the context** to read or edit it. See Review your Workspace Context.

The **Codename** is used instead of the Workspace name for readers who cannot see names.

Under **Appearance**, select a Workspace color or upload a PNG, JPEG, WebP, or SVG image up to 500 KB. The image appears in Workspace navigation and the Chat context picker. See [Customize a Workspace’s appearance](https://www.in-parallel.com/help/customize-workspace-appearance).

A team Workspace can also offer **Show workspace in company directories**, which lets people in your company find the Workspace in lists and directories. It does not grant access: people still need to be members to open it.

The Danger zone includes Workspace deletion. The confirmation lists what will be permanently removed, such as goals, observations that belong only to this Workspace, meetings and their transcripts, and Workspace pages. To enable deletion, enter the Workspace name exactly as shown. Confirm the Workspace and retention requirements before continuing.

The **Restrict this workspace** control excludes the Workspace from cross-Workspace summaries and prevents sharing through context links or grants. Members keep their normal access. Review this separately from the member list.

## Members

The **Access** section shows direct members, with their Owner or Member role and email. Ancestor membership and General access are separate access mechanisms; the direct member list is not the whole access boundary. Owners can use **Add member** to grant direct membership and **Remove** to remove that direct membership. To review remaining access, also check ancestor membership, General access, and **Advanced: agent access**, including personal access token grants. To transfer ownership, choose **Owner** in another member’s role control and confirm; you will no longer be able to manage the Workspace settings afterward.

Review **General access** and, when available, **Advanced: agent access** separately from direct members. See [Add members to your Workspace](https://www.in-parallel.com/help/add-members-stakeholders).

## Pages

Use Pages to:

- select **Manage pages** to open **Manage page types** ;
- add or remove installed page types;
- create a **Custom page** ;
- if **Track a meeting series** is available in your account, attach a page to an existing series tag;
- use **Upload a document** to save a Background document and create a native Workspace page from the same file;
- view, reorder, and nest the page tree under **Structure** ;
- edit **Page skill** to guide how the agent maintains a specific page;
- use **Move** to choose a new parent; sub-pages move with the page;
- review **Recent structure changes** ;
- request **Recompile** for supported typed pages;
- open **Archived pages** ;
- manage source files under **Background documents** .

Background documents settings with Upload document and supported file formats

**Upload document** under **Background documents** adds a source file. **Upload a document** inside **Manage page types** also creates a native Workspace page from the file.

**Share the context downstream** lets descendant Workspaces use Context as read-only governing context. **Publish to descendants** makes it available downstream. This does not share other pages or grant Workspace access.

See [Use your Workspace pages](https://www.in-parallel.com/help/team-wiki) and Edit and customize Workspace pages.

See [Add documents to a Workspace](https://www.in-parallel.com/help/add-workspace-documents).

## Meetings & channels

Use this tab to set meeting-note defaults, connect sources, and choose where updates are posted.

### Notes format and length

**Notes format and length** applies to every meeting mapped to the Workspace. Choose **Not set**, **Standard**, or **Minutes** for format, and use the notes-length control when the Workspace needs a shared length.

An unset Workspace value follows the Company setting. If neither sets format, notes use Standard. If neither sets length, the organizer’s personal preference applies. A Company or Workspace length setting takes precedence over that personal preference.

### Workspace channels

Under **Workspace channels**, connect the Slack or Microsoft Teams channel the Workspace should read from or post to. Use **Edit Slack channels** or **Edit Teams channels**. If Slack is not installed, ask an administrator to install In Parallel first. To manage channels you also need to have linked your own Slack or Microsoft account under **Settings → Account → Connections**.

After you map a channel, three switches appear:

- **Capture observations from channels** reads channel messages into the Workspace’s context.
- **Deliver meeting notes to channels** posts full meeting reports to the channel.
- **Deliver briefs to channels** posts Workspace briefs to the channel.

Reading messages and posting updates are separate choices. Everyone in the channel can see what is posted.

Under **Observation kinds**, the Signals switches choose which kinds of signals are extracted from meetings and channels and feed generated documents. You can edit a built-in kind or add a custom kind.

## Notifications

The **Briefs** card controls the Workspace’s forward-looking brief. Choose **Daily**, **Weekly**, **Monthly**, or a combination. Monthly provides a leadership read. For each schedule, choose the time (and, for Weekly, the day) and the output length: **Short**, **Medium**, **Long**, or **Full**.

Review **Delivery to you** for your personal copy and **Delivery to workspace** for the copy sent to Workspace members. Select the intended delivery methods; connecting an integration alone does not enable delivery.

## Glossary

Use the Workspace glossary for names, terms, and jargon that should improve transcription accuracy in this Workspace. Company-level terms apply across all Workspaces.
