Settings

This part of the manual is about how to change the different workspace settings.

The gearwheel icon opens the settings section. Here all metadata of a workspace is stored and managed. Also the members of a workspace and the workspaces security settings can be edited in this area.

Security

On the security panel you can see the current security settings of the workspace. This is called the workspace policy.

All these settings of a workspace can be changed for existing workspaces whenever needed. Short explanations offer information about the current and possible options for these settings to make sure what effects on the workspace and it’s content a change has.
