Ownership and deleting a workspace

Hand the Owner role to someone else, or delete a workspace.

Owners have full control of a workspace, including deleting it. Only an Owner can make someone else an Owner or delete the workspace.

Make someone else the Owner

Open Members

Go to Settings and choose Members.

Change their role to Owner

Open their … menu, choose Change role, and pick Owner. See Members.

Step down, if you want to

You can’t change your own role. Ask the new Owner to change it, or leave the workspace.

A workspace always needs at least one Owner, so the last Owner can’t leave until someone else has the role.

Delete a workspace

Deleting removes the workspace for everyone in it. It’s in Settings › General, under Danger zone.

The General settings page with the Delete Workspace button under Danger zone

Cancel your plan first

Deleting a workspace doesn’t cancel its subscription. Cancel the plan on the Billing page first.

Choose Delete Workspace

We email you a verification code.

Enter the code to confirm

The workspace is deleted.

You have 7 days to change your mind. We email you a recovery link. After 7 days, the workspace and its data are gone for good, and you’d need to create a new one and invite everyone again.

Common questions

I'm an Admin. Why can't I delete the workspace?

Deleting is Owner-only. Check Members to see who the Owners are.

I gave someone the Owner role by mistake

You’re still an Owner, so you can change their role back with Change role. If you’ve already stepped down, ask them, or email support.
