Accessing a workspace¶

This page explains what happens after you sign in — how MatStream determines which workspace to open, how to switch between workspaces, and how to set a default workspace.

When you sign in, MatStream checks your workspace access and redirects you automatically based on the following rules:

Situation	Behaviour
Default workspace set	Automatic redirect after a 5-second countdown. Click Continue to go immediately.
One workspace, no default	Immediate redirect to that workspace.
Multiple workspaces, no default	A workspace picker is shown — select which workspace to open.
No workspace yet	A welcome screen is shown with an option to create a workspace or wait for an invitation.

Creating your first workspace¶

If you are not yet part of any workspace, MatStream shows a welcome screen with a Create a workspace button.

Click it and follow the steps to set up your workspace. You will become the owner and administrator of that workspace.

Note

If you are expecting to be added to an existing workspace by an administrator, you do not need to create one. Once the administrator adds you, MatStream will detect your membership automatically on your next sign-in.

Setting a default workspace¶

When you are inside a workspace, open the account menu (top right, your email address) and click Set [workspace name] as default.

MatStream remembers this workspace and redirects you to it automatically on every subsequent sign-in.

Tip

If you belong to multiple workspaces and want to switch your default, open the account menu in the workspace you want to set as default and click Set [workspace name] as default.

Workspace URL¶

Each workspace has a unique URL based on its slug, for example:

https://app.matstream.com/w/my-company

You can bookmark this URL or share it with colleagues who are already members of the workspace.

Warning

Navigating to a workspace URL you are not a member of will show an Access Denied page. Contact the workspace administrator to request access.

Switching between workspaces¶

If you have access to multiple workspaces, you can switch between them by navigating directly to the workspace URL, or by going to the home page (/) where the workspace picker is shown when no default is set.

To change your default workspace, open the account menu inside the workspace you want to switch to and click Set [workspace name] as default.
