Workspaces#
Workspaces are like project folders. They allow you to organise your work and share it with others.
Each workspace has a Git repository; commit your work to your workspace’s Git repository to share it with your team.
Note: The SigTech platform uses jupyterlab-git, a Git extension for JupyterLab. See the jupyterlab-git documentation for help with this extension.
Accessing your workspaces#
Log in to the SigTech platform to view your workspaces.
Note: If the list of workspaces is collapsed, you can bring it back up by selecting the green diamond icon on the left of your screen.
Create a new workspace#
To create a new workspace:
If you have an active research environment running, select Stop research environment to shut it down.
Select Create new workspace.
Complete the details of your new workspace, and then select Create workspace.
Workspace permissions#
Only users who are members of a workspace can view the workspace contents.
By default, only the workspace owner (the user who created the workspace) is a workspace member.
Only the workspace owner can add and remove workspace members.
Add users as members of a workspace#
Only the workspace owner can add and remove workspace members.
As the workspace owner, to add a user to a workspace:
From the list of workspaces, select a workspace.
From the list of workspaces, under the selected workspace, select Settings.
At Workspace members, select a user.
Select Add user.
The workspace appears in the added user’s list of available workspaces when they log in to the SigTech platform. If the workspace is not appearing, ask the user to log out of the platform and log back in.
