Workspace Visibility

Every workspace has one visibility setting. It controls where the workspace is stored and who can open it.

Local

Local workspaces keep their content and uploaded files in the browser or desktop app where you created them. They do not appear on another device after sign-in, cannot be shared, and are not included in cloud organization backups.

Clearing site data can remove a Local workspace. Export your writing and download important files before clearing local data or replacing your device. A Local workspace cannot later be converted to Private or Shared.

Private

Private workspaces sync through Lunaris Cloud but remain restricted. The workspace owner can grant individual organization members Editor or Viewer access. Someone must join the organization before they can receive private-workspace access.

Use Private for personal drafts or work meant for selected people.

Shared

Shared workspaces sync through Lunaris Cloud and are available to every member of the organization. Each member’s organization role controls whether they can change the workspace or only view it.

Use Shared for team knowledge and work everyone in the organization should find.

Changing Private and Shared

A cloud workspace’s visibility can change between Private and Shared from Workspace Settings → Visibility. Changing a Shared workspace to Private removes organization-wide access; grant selected members access afterward if they should keep using it.

For setup steps and examples, see Local, Private, and Shared Workspaces.
