# Adding a Workspace
A workspace groups your domains, team members, and billing in one place. Each workspace has its own plan, usage limits, and settings.

1. Click your avatar in the top-right to open the user menu
2. Click **Create workspace**
3. Enter a workspace name
4. Select a plan

**Data retention is not a plan feature, with one exception.** Every plan keeps a given kind of data for the same length of time - 10 years of Search Console and Web Analytics history, 16 months of RUM and CrUX, 12 months of Synthetic, Uptime, robots.txt, Indexing, Server Log Monitoring and Sitemap Monitoring. The exception is the change history of Page Monitoring and Site Health Monitoring: 14 days on the Free plan and 12 months on paid plans. See [Retention](/others/data-privacy#retention) for the full table.
