Create a New Workspace

You have several choices when creating a new Workspace in the Hoylu Dashboard. You can create your own by clicking on the red tile, which will open a Blank Workspace, or choose from an array of Templated Workspaces by clicking on Browse Templates, which includes several combinations of smart Hoylu structures like Pull Plans, Agile Boards, and Backgrounds from the Assets Panel. 

Figure 1. Create a new Workspace from the Dashboard.

1. Go to your Dashboard on app.hoylu.com 
   
   
2. Click on any of the Workspace tiles in the top section or in the Template window
   
   
3. Once the Workspace loads, the Workspace Info window will open for you to edit the Title, assign the Workspace to a Project Folder, and change the Workspace Thumbnail
   
   
4. Review the Link Sharing and Permissions sections so they are to your preference (the Workspace will default to no access until you change this to allow other participants into the Workspace)
   
   
5. Make sure you save the changes you have made to the Workspace

Your new Workspace is already loaded in the background so once you close the window, you can get right to work. You can access this window again by clicking on the Workspace Title in the top left menu of the Workspace.

Rename a Workspace

As the Workspace admin, you can rename your Workspace at any time from the Dashboard or whilst in the Workspace itself. We will focus on the first in this article.
