# Workspaces

> Keep each company or product in its own workspace, with its own data and its own AI key.

If you're working on more than one product, you don't want their [competitors](/competitors/add-competitors), models and numbers mixed together. A workspace is one company: its own projects, its own research, its own [AI key](/getting-started/connect-a-provider) and its own AI spend. Nothing leaks between workspaces.

## What a workspace keeps separate

Each workspace keeps its own copy of everything company-specific:

* projects, along with their [actuals](/modeling/actuals-and-forecast) and [snapshots](/modeling/snapshots-and-accuracy)
* [templates](/modeling/start-from-a-template) and their versions
* your product description
* competitors and the comparison between them
* research results
* Inbox notifications
* AI spend records

A few things are deliberately shared across all your workspaces, because they're reference data rather than company data: the global datasets, the block library, and skills.

## Create a workspace

Give it a name — any name, as long as it isn't empty. Two workspaces may share a name; they stay separate.

A new workspace is usable right away: it arrives with its own copies of the built-in templates, so you can create your first project without any setup. Its project list starts empty. Changes you make to those template copies don't affect any other workspace.

## Switch between workspaces

The workspace switcher is in the sidebar, on every screen — click the workspace name and pick another. Exactly one workspace is active at a time, and Vector remembers which one you were in, so closing the app and coming back puts you where you left off.

If you belong to several workspaces, the switcher lists all of them. Your role can be different in each one, and the permissions that apply are the ones you have in the workspace you switch into.

## Set the workspace's AI key

Each workspace has its own AI key: add it in **Settings**, on the **AI Providers** tab, while you're in that workspace. AI features run on the key of the workspace you're working in — never on another workspace's key. That keeps AI spend attributed to the right company.

Once saved, the key is never shown again in full; you only see a masked value or an indication that a key is set. You can replace or remove it at any time, and that only affects the workspace you're in.

If the workspace has no AI key at all, starting an AI action tells you the key is missing and points you to the workspace's settings. Everything that doesn't need AI keeps working.

<Note>
  Only admins and owners can open workspace settings, so only they can add or change the AI key. See [Members and roles](/account-and-team/members-and-roles).
</Note>

## Rename a workspace

Only the owner can rename a workspace. Click the pencil next to its name in the sidebar switcher, or go to **Settings** → **Workspace**, change the **Workspace name** and click **Rename**. The new name shows everywhere; nothing inside the workspace changes.

## Delete a workspace

Deleting is permanent. Vector asks you to confirm and tells you how many projects will be destroyed along with the workspace's settings. Projects, their actuals and their snapshots, the workspace's templates and its AI key all go; other workspaces are untouched.

Two rules protect you:

* You can't delete your last workspace — you always have at least one.
* If you delete the workspace you're currently in, Vector switches you to another one rather than leaving you nowhere.

## Move work between workspaces

* **Projects can't be moved.** If a project ends up in the wrong workspace, recreate it in the right one.
* If an AI operation is running when you switch workspaces, it finishes in the workspace where it started, using that workspace's key.
