Workspaces
A workspace in Lora is the home for your team’s shortcuts. Every shortcut, folder, tag, and member belongs to a workspace. Workspaces keep teams’ knowledge separate. Each one has its own data, members, billing, and permissions.
Creating a workspace
You can create a workspace when you sign up, or from the workspace switcher in the app. Each workspace has a unique slug in the URL path:
app.uselora.com/[workspace]
Pick a name your team will recognize, usually the company or team name.
Switching between workspaces
If you belong to several workspaces, use the dropdown in the top-left corner of the app to switch between them. Workspaces are fully isolated: your shortcuts, folders, tags, analytics, members, and your role in each are independent.
Workspace settings
The Workspace Owner and Admins can change workspace settings under Administration → Workspaces. From here you can:
- Update the workspace name and slug
- Upload a workspace logo
- Change the permission options (see below)
- Manage ownership (Owner only)
Permissions
Under Administration → Workspaces → Permissions, two options let you limit what Members can do to shortcuts they don’t own. Both options are off by default. Owners and Admins see this section; Members don’t.
Only Admins can delete shortcuts. Helper text: Recommended because deleting popular shortcuts can break other users’ workflows.
When this option is active, Members can only delete shortcuts they own. Admins and Owners can still delete any shortcut, with one exception: nobody can delete a Private shortcut they don’t own. See shortcut ownership.
Only Admins can edit all shortcuts. Link owners can edit their own. Helper text: Generally not recommended. This can increase edit requests, since admins may need to manage changes for shortcuts they don’t have full context on.
When this option is active, Members can only edit shortcuts they own. Admins and Owners can still edit any shortcut, with the same Private exception.
The options only restrict actions on shortcuts owned by other people. A Member always retains full edit and delete rights over the shortcuts they own. See shortcut ownership.
On the Free plan, the options have no effect because every active member has Admin permissions. Once the workspace upgrades to a paid plan, both options apply as described.
Managing ownership
A workspace can have more than one Owner, but it can never have zero. An Owner can make any active member another Owner from Administration → Members (Change role → Owner) without stepping down.
The last Owner can’t leave the workspace or step down. To hand it over, make someone else an Owner on the Members page first; after that you can leave or change your own role. If you’re the only person in the workspace, there’s no one to hand it to: delete the workspace instead.
Deleting a workspace
Only an Owner can delete a workspace. Open Administration → Workspaces and select Delete workspace. Lora emails you a deletion code. To confirm, enter the code, type the workspace name, and tick the box that says you understand everything will be deleted.
The workspace isn’t deleted right away. It’s scheduled for deletion 7 days later, and every Owner and Admin gets an email saying who scheduled it and when it will happen. Until then the workspace keeps working as usual, and any Owner or Admin can cancel: open the workspace and select Cancel scheduled deletion, either in the notice that appears or under Administration → Workspaces. Everyone who got the first email is told about the cancellation too.
When the 7 days are up, the workspace and everything in it are deleted: shortcuts, folders, tags, members, invitations, and API keys. Owners and Admins get one last email. This can’t be undone.
Before deleting, export anything you want to keep. At minimum that means the shortcuts and the workspace analytics.
This doesn’t delete your Lora account. See Delete your Lora account.
