A Team in Nodespell is a shared workspace where invited members work on the same Projects. Each Team has one owner and any number of members up to its plan's limit. A Team has its own shared Projects, private drafts and Team Assets, kept separate from your personal workspace, and its credits come either from each member or from one shared pool.

## Personal workspace and Team workspaces

Every account has a personal workspace. When you belong to a Team, you also have that Team's workspace.

|                        | Personal workspace                     | Team workspace                                                   |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Description in the app | “Your own projects, credits, and plan” | “Shared team projects and team pool credits”                     |
| Projects               | Only yours                             | **Shared projects** for every member, plus **My drafts** for you |
| Assets                 | Personal Assets                        | Team Assets                                                      |
| Credits used           | Your personal credits                  | Your personal credits, or the Team's shared pool on Studio       |

Personal and Team credits are never combined. See [Team credits and usage](https://docs.nodespell.com/teams/credits-and-usage/).

## Switch between workspaces

1. On the projects dashboard, open the workspace switcher at the top of the sidebar. It shows your current workspace name.
2. Under **Current workspace** you see the workspace's description and which credits it uses, such as “Uses Pro credits” or **Studio pool**.
3. Choose **Personal workspace**, or a Team under **Team Workspaces**.

The project list, the **New Project** button and the sidebar items change to match the workspace. In a Team workspace the sidebar shows **Shared projects**, **My drafts** and **Team actions**.

## Which plans include Teams?

| Plan          | What you can do with Teams                                                                                                                                                               |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Free, Starter | Create one Team, but you cannot add members until you upgrade.                                                                                                                           |
| Pro, Pro Plus | Teams with up to 3 team members. Each member uses their own credits.                                                                                                                     |
| Studio        | A Team with one shared credit pool paid centrally by the owner. Studio starts at 2 team members; self-serve checkout goes up to 4, and larger Teams are set up with Nodespell, up to 10. |

Team member places count everyone who has joined, including the owner, plus pending invitations. Plan details are in [Plans and credits](https://docs.nodespell.com/account/plans-and-credits/).

## Create a Team

1. Open the workspace switcher and choose **Create A Team**. You can also open **Account Settings** > **Teams** and select **Create team**.
2. Enter a **Team Name**. Optionally set an **Icon** (initials or an emoji), a **Color**, or **Upload Avatar**.
3. Select **Create team**.

Nodespell then opens the **Teams** tab with a setup checklist for the new Team: **Choose a plan**, **Invite your team** and, on Studio, **Review pool alerts**. The setup asks **How will credits work in** your Team, with two choices:

- **Everyone uses their own credits**: the Pro plan, up to 3 team members.
- **One shared pool, paid centrally**: the Studio plan.

## Manage a Team

Open **Account Settings** > **Teams**, or choose **Members** under **Team actions** in a Team workspace. Pick the Team from **Select a team**. The page has these tabs:

| Tab              | Who sees it                    | What it contains                                  |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Members**      | Everyone                       | Members, invitations and team capacity            |
| **Credit usage** | Owner; members of Studio Teams | Team credit use and the shared balance            |
| **Billing**      | Owner                          | How the Team pays and **Manage plan and top-ups** |

The owner's **Team settings** button offers **Edit name and appearance**, **Delete team** and **Hand over this team**. Members see **Leave team** instead.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I create a Team on the Free plan?

Yes. Any plan can create one Team, but adding members requires Pro or Studio. The app shows **Add team members with Pro or Studio** until you upgrade.

### Do my personal credits pay for Team work?

On a Pro Team, yes: each member's own credits pay for their runs in the Team. On a Studio Team, work in the Team workspace uses the Team's shared pool, and your personal credits stay separate.

### Can a Team have more than one owner?

No. Each Team has exactly one owner. To hand a Team to someone else, contact support with the new owner's email, because billing moves too.

### Can I belong to more than one Team?

Yes. Every Team you belong to is listed under **Team Workspaces** in the workspace switcher.
