## Workspace Creation

### Step 1: Plan Workspace Structure
```markdown
## Workspace Planning Template

For each workspace, define:
- Name: [Workspace Name]
- Purpose: [Primary use case]
- Owner: [Admin name/email]
- Members: [Group or individuals]
- Access Level: [Public/Private/Confidential]
- Integrations: [List required]
- Templates: [Shared/Custom]
- Retention: [Days/Months/Forever]
```

### Step 2: Create Workspaces
```markdown
## Workspace Creation

1. Organization Settings > Workspaces
2. Click "Create Workspace"
3. Configure:
   - Name: Engineering
   - Slug: engineering
   - Description: Engineering team meetings
   - Owner: eng-lead@company.com
4. Save and proceed to settings
```

### Step 3: Configure Per-Workspace Settings
```yaml
# Engineering Workspace Settings
Workspace: Engineering

  default_sharing: team
  external_sharing: disabled
  transcript_access: members_only

Integrations:
  - Slack: #dev-meetings channel
  - Linear: Auto-create tasks
  - Notion: Engineering wiki database
  - GitHub: Link PRs in notes

Templates:
  - Sprint Planning

    role: admin

  sales-team:
    workspace: Sales
