Workspaces
A workspace holds your projects, team members, and shared credit pool. Use it for ongoing teamwork; use project sharing to give someone access to one canvas.
Every account starts with a personal workspace. You do not need to create one.
This page covers the current Teams release.
Workspace vs. sharing a single project
Choose a workspace for a team, or share one project with a guest:
| Workspace (team) | Sharing a single project | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A shared space that owns projects, members, and a credit pool | Giving specific people access to one canvas |
| Who you add | Members of your team | Guests (a link or an email invite to that project) |
| What they see | All shared projects in the workspace | Only the one project shared with them |
| Credits | Draw from the team's shared pool | Project-scoped; a guest doesn't get your team pool |
| Best for | A studio working together long-term | A client or reviewer who needs to see one thing |
Members join the team. Guests get access only to the project shared with them.
The two can stack: a project can be shared with your whole team and link-shared to an outside guest at the same time.
Roles
Flick keeps roles simple for now:
- Owner: manages billing, members, and workspace deletion. Can also do everything a member can.
- Member: can create, edit, and generate in shared projects. Cannot manage billing or remove people.
- Guest: has free access to one shared project through a link or email invite. Is not a workspace member.
Invite your team
Invite teammates into your existing workspace:
- Open the workspace switcher (top-left) or the People page.
- Invite teammates by email.
- Optionally rename your workspace (for example, "Acme Studio").
Your projects and credits stay in the same workspace.
Invites work whether or not the person already has a Flick account. If they don't, the invite is claimed automatically when they sign up with that email.
Members and invites (the People page)
The People page is where you manage your team. An owner can:
- Invite members by email
- Resend or revoke a pending invite
- Remove a member
- See each member's credit usage (this month and total)
Members can leave at any time. Leaving or being removed ends their access immediately. Their shared projects stay in the workspace for the team.
Projects: Shared vs. Private
Inside a team, every project is either Shared or Private:
- Shared: everyone in the workspace can open and edit it.
- Private: only the creator can see it, not other members or the owner.
New projects start Private. To share one with the team, use the icon next to the canvas zoom control or the project card's menu. Use the same control to make it Private again.
Privacy is about visibility only. It never changes which credit pool a generation draws from.
Shared credits
A workspace has one credit pool, funded by the owner's plan:
- Every generation in a team project uses the team's credit pool, whoever runs it.
- Each spend is attributed to the member who ran it. The owner can see per-member usage; each member can always see their own.
- When the pool hits zero, everyone is blocked until it's topped up. Members can't pay directly; they prompt the owner to upgrade.
Your personal workspace and any team you've joined are separate pools. Work in your personal space draws your own credits; work in a team draws that team's credits.
FAQ
Do I have to create a workspace? No. You already have a personal one. Inviting people turns it into a team.
Can the owner see my private project? No. Private means creator-only, hidden even from the owner. The spend still draws the owner's pool and shows in usage stats, but the content stays private.
Who pays when a teammate generates? The workspace owner's credit pool, regardless of who runs the generation.
What happens to a member's projects if they leave? Their shared projects stay in the workspace and remain available to the team.
Can I share a project with someone outside my team? Yes. Use per-project sharing (a link, or invite a guest by email). They get just that one project, for free, without joining the workspace.
