Using Your Workspace

Once your workspace is Running, you can launch development apps inside it, work with persistent files, and share it with teammates.

Using Apps

Each workspace can run multiple development tools, called apps, side by side.

Available Apps

App	What it is
JupyterLab	Interactive notebook environment for Python, R, and more
Terminal	Browser-based command-line terminal
FileBrowser	Graphical file manager for your workspace files

Launching an App

1. Open your workspace card and click Add App (or the + button).

2. Select the app you want to launch.

3. Click on Launch.

The app starts inside the workspace pod and an access link appears on the workspace card. Click the link to open it in a new tab.

Stopping an App

Click the Stop button next to an app’s link on the workspace card. The app process inside the pod is stopped; other apps continue running.

Note: Apps open in your browser over a secure, authenticated route — you do not need to manage ports or SSH tunnels.

Workspace Files

Every workspace has a persistent volume mounted at /home/workspace. Files saved here survive pod restarts and stops. Use the FileBrowser app or the Terminal to manage files.

To transfer files from your laptop:

• Use the FileBrowser app’s upload button.

• Use scp or rsync from the Terminal (if SSH is configured by your admin).

Sharing a Workspace

You can give other users access to your workspace (read-and-execute, not ownership).

To share:

1. Open the actions menu → Share.

2. Enter the username(s) or email(s) of the people you want to share with.

3. Click Share.

Shared users will see the workspace in the Shared with Me section on their Home page and can open apps in it.

To remove access:

1. Open the actions menu → Share.

2. Find the user in the shared-access list.

3. Click Remove next to their name.

Note: Only the workspace owner can share or unshare it. Shared users cannot modify workspace settings or delete it.
