# Workspace: Settings

A workspace is the team space that holds your domains, members, plan and connections. The workspace **Settings** page shows a summary of the workspace and lets you rename or delete it.

## Before you start [#before-you-start]

- To open the page, click your avatar at the top right. In the **Workspace** section, click the settings icon next to the workspace name. The page opens with the **Workspace Settings** sidebar.
- Every role can open the page. Only owners and admins can rename the workspace. Only the owner can delete it.
- Each workspace has its own plan, members, Google accounts, API keys and API credits.

## What a workspace contains [#what-a-workspace-contains]

A workspace contains:

- **Domains**: the sites that you monitor.
- **Members**: the people with access, each with a role. See [Members](/workspace/members).
- **Plan**: the subscription and its limits. See [Billing](/workspace/billing).
- **Integrations**: Google accounts, Slack channels and webhooks. See [Integrations](/workspace/integrations).
- **API credits** and the **Data access log**. See [API credits](/workspace/api-credits) and [Data access log](/workspace/data-access-log).

Use more than one workspace when clients or teams need separate invoices, separate members or separate plans.

## Workspace summary card [#workspace-summary-card]

The top card of the workspace **Settings** page shows the workspace avatar, the workspace name and your role (**Owner**, **Admin** or **Member**). Below the name, it shows the plan name, the price and the creation date. An example is "Starter plan · $39 a month · Since Jan 5, 2026".

Only the owner sees the price. If our team set up your plan, the price shows as **Free for you**.

### Summary cells [#summary-cells]

Below the name, the workspace summary card has a row of cells. Click a cell to open its page. The **Domains** cell opens the Dashboard.

| Cell | What it shows |
|------|---------------|
| **Domains** | How many domains you use and the plan limit, for example "3 of 5", with a usage bar. The bar turns amber at 75% of the limit. |
| **Members** | How many people have access, with their avatars. |
| **API credits** | The credits left, for example "4,200 left", and the date the credits refill. |
| **Google** | **Connected**, **Needs reconnecting** or **Not connected**, with the email of the first Google account. Only owners and admins see this cell. |
| **Renews on** | The next renewal date and **Billed monthly** or **Billed yearly**. Only the owner of a paid workspace sees this cell. On a plan that our team set up, the label is **Runs until**. |

If a figure cannot load, the cell shows **Not available**.

## Rename the workspace [#rename-the-workspace]

Owners and admins can change the workspace name. The name shows in the workspace switcher and in emails.

1. In **Workspace name**, enter the new name.
2. Click **Save name**. To undo your change, click **Cancel**.

The message **Workspace name saved** confirms the change. If the field is empty, the page shows **Give the workspace a name**.

## Switch workspaces [#switch-workspaces]

If you belong to more than one workspace, you can switch between them in two places:

- Click your avatar at the top right. In the **Workspace** section, click the name of the workspace.
- On a settings page, open the workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar. Then click the workspace.

When you switch on a workspace settings page, the app opens the same page for the new workspace. The Dashboard always shows the domains of all your workspaces. See [Dashboard](/workspace/dashboard).

## Create another workspace [#create-another-workspace]

1. Click your avatar at the top right.
2. Click **Create workspace**.
3. Follow the steps to name the workspace and select a plan.

You can also click **Create workspace** in the workspace switcher of the settings sidebar. Each account can have one free workspace. If you already have one, the Free plan shows "Your free workspace is already claimed." For the full steps, see [Create a workspace](/getting-started/account/create-workspace).

## Delete the workspace [#delete-the-workspace]

Only the owner sees the **Danger zone** card. The card says "Permanently delete this workspace and everything in it."

<Callout type="warn">
  Deleting a workspace is permanent. VitalSentinel erases all domains, all monitoring data, all members and the connected Google accounts. It also erases the API keys, the API credit usage, the data access log, and the Slack channels and webhooks.
</Callout>

1. Click **Delete workspace**.
2. Read the list of data that VitalSentinel erases.
3. Type the workspace name to confirm.
4. Click **Delete workspace**.

The message **Workspace deleted** confirms the deletion, and the Dashboard opens.

### Why workspace deletion is blocked [#why-workspace-deletion-is-blocked]

If the workspace has an active subscription or a failed payment, you cannot delete it. The **Danger zone** card shows "This workspace has an active subscription. Cancel the subscription before deleting the workspace." The **Delete workspace** button is not available.

1. Click **Open billing**.
2. Click **Cancel subscription** and confirm. See [Billing](/workspace/billing).
3. When the **Billing** page shows the status **Canceled**, come back and delete the workspace.

## Troubleshooting [#troubleshooting]

### Why can I not change the workspace name? [#why-can-i-not-change-the-workspace-name]

If you are a member, the **Workspace name** field does not show. Ask an owner or admin to rename the workspace.

### Why do I not see the Danger zone card? [#why-do-i-not-see-the-danger-zone-card]

Only the workspace owner can delete a workspace. If you are an admin or a member, ask the owner. The owner can also transfer ownership to you on the [Members](/workspace/members) page.

### Why does the page say Workspace not found? [#why-does-the-page-say-workspace-not-found]

The page shows **Workspace not found** and "You don't have access to this workspace" when the workspace was deleted or you are not a member. Click **Back to dashboard**.
