How to leave a workspace

In TeleportHQ, you leave a workspace you were invited to from your dashboard sidebar: point at it under SHARED WITH ME, click ⋯ → Leave Workspace, then click Leave workspace to confirm. You immediately lose access to every project in that workspace, and you need a new invitation to get back in.

Before you start

  • You can only leave workspaces you don't own. A workspace you own can't be left. You can delete it instead. See How to delete a workspace.
  • Leaving can't be undone. The workspace's Owner or an Admin has to invite you again.
  • You can leave a locked workspace too. Leaving works even while the workspace's trial or subscription has ended.
  • Want a copy of a project? Leaving removes your access, not the project. If you need your own copy, ask the Owner before you leave. See Can I transfer a project to another account?.

Steps

  1. On your dashboard, in the left sidebar, find the workspace under SHARED WITH ME.
  2. Point at the workspace name and click the ⋯ icon at the right end of its row.
  3. Click Leave Workspace, at the bottom of the menu. The Leave workspace window opens: "You are about to leave workspace '<name>'. You will have to be invited again to access it."
  4. Click Leave workspace to confirm.

You can also leave from Workspace Settings → General: scroll to the red Leave workspace card ("You lose access to every project in this workspace. This cannot be undone.") and click Leave workspace.

Check that it worked

The workspace disappears from SHARED WITH ME. If you had it open, TeleportHQ switches you to another workspace. Otherwise you see "You have left the workspace."

Troubleshooting

"Could not leave workspace. Please try again." Leaving didn't save. Reload the page and try again. If it keeps failing, ask the workspace Owner or an Admin to remove you.

I don't see Leave Workspace in the menu You own this workspace. Owners can't leave their own workspace.

Good to know

  • Single shared projects are separate. Projects shared with you one by one are listed under Shared projects and are left from there. See How to find projects shared with you (and leave them).
  • Seats. If you had an editing role in a workspace that pays for editor seats, leaving frees your seat, and the unused part of its billing period goes to the Owner's account credit.

What is a workspace?

A TeleportHQ workspace is a shared space with one Owner that holds projects, members with roles, and its own plan and billing; you can own several workspaces and be a member of other people's, all listed in the dashboard sidebar under WORKSPACES and SHARED WITH ME.

How to find projects shared with you (and leave them)

In TeleportHQ, projects other people shared with you one by one are on your dashboard under SHARED WITH ME → Shared projects; to leave one, click ⋮ on its card, choose Leave Project and confirm with Leave project.

How to delete a workspace

In TeleportHQ, the workspace Owner opens Workspace Settings → General and clicks Delete workspace in the red card at the bottom; this permanently deletes every project in it, and it's only possible once the plan, seats and add-ons have stopped billing and you own another workspace.

How to remove a member or cancel an invitation

In TeleportHQ, open Workspace Settings → Collaborators, click ⋯ on the person's row, choose Delete and confirm; this removes a member's access immediately and is also the only way to cancel an invitation that hasn't been used yet.

How to switch workspaces and choose which one opens first

In TeleportHQ, click any workspace name in the dashboard's left sidebar to switch to it, and set Account Settings → General → Primary workspace to choose which workspace opens when you sign in, on any browser or device.
