🎥 Video Tour: Navigating the Butter dashboard

Here’s a 2-minute tour of everything that’s in a workspace!

What is a Butter workspace?

Everything you do in Butter is tied to a workspace. In a workspace, you’ll find your rooms, a shared library of agendas and tools, session recaps, and your team members.

Here’s what you can do in a workspace:

• See & plan what’s next: Your workspace has a Home tab with an overview of upcoming sessions, recent rooms, recaps, and more. You can also plan your upcoming sessions and schedule it directly from Butter!
• Plan sessions together: Collaborate on room setup with other members of your workspace.
• See & share templates: View our curated public library of templates you can use to create your Butter sessions. Create a team library of agenda templates and tools to save on setup time.
• Manage your team: Invite workspace members and assign workspace- and room-level roles
• Manage your billing: Manage workspace permissions, plans, and billing from one account.

Creating a workspace

There are two ways to create a workspace in Butter.

1. When you first sign up: If you weren’t invited to a team workspace, you’ll be prompted to create your own workspace when you first sign up to Butter.
2. From your Butter dashboard: You can create a new workspace by selecting the workspace dropdown from the dashboard navigation and then selecting “Add new workspace.” From there, just follow the prompts!

Joining a workspace

To join an existing workspace, you’ll need to be invited by an existing member. Any workspace member can invite you to their workspace.

See Workspace Settings for details on how to invite team members to your workspace.

Switching between workspaces

To switch between workspaces, select the workspace dropdown in the top-left corner of your workspace navigation.

Then, just pick the workspace you want to switch to!

Understanding free vs. paid workspaces

In Butter, you have the option to have a free or paid workspace.

All members in your workspace will be on the same plan. Free workspaces can have up to 5 members on free plans, while paid workspaces can have unlimited members.

Here’s a quick rundown of the available workspace plans in Butter:

Managing workspace roles

Workspaces are made for teams to plan and run incredibly engaging sessions together! To access your workspace members, navigate to Settings > Workspace.

In a Butter team workspace, there are three different member roles:

• Owner: The creator of the workspace and the only person who can delete the workspace.
• Admin: Can manage workspace settings, members, and the templates library.
• Member: These are members have full access to the workspace’s rooms and library, but can’t manage workspace settings (including member roles). They can create unlimited rooms, run sessions, and start sessions from any shared rooms they’ve been added to as collaborators.

See Workspace Settings to learn how to manage your workspace members.

See 🦹Workspace Roles & Permissions for a complete breakdown of each role.
