Workspaces & Pages
A workspace is the main structuring unit inside an organisation. Within a workspace there are pages, which in turn contain folders and files. Permissions and integrations are configured at the workspace and page level.
Model
Organisation
└── Workspace ← members, roles
└── Page ← optionally bound to OneDrive / GDrive / SharePoint / Dalux / Zipro
├── Folder
└── File- A member can belong to many workspaces, with a different role per workspace.
- A page can have its own members if you need finer-grained access control. Without explicit page members, the page inherits from its workspace membership.
Creating a workspace
- Open My Hub in the sidebar.
- Click Create workspace. The button is only visible if you have the permission.
- Provide:
- Name – Display name, e.g. "Legal & Compliance".
- Description – Optional. Helps members understand what the workspace is for.
- Initials – Two characters for the avatar.
- Save. You're automatically the first member with the matching role.
Workspace settings
Inside a workspace there's a Details area:
- General – Edit name, description and initials (if you have edit permission).
- Members – Who's in the workspace and their role. Add/remove centrally via Settings → User Workspace Management.
- Danger zone – Delete the workspace (visible only to owners/admins, with a confirmation dialog).
Pages
Creating a page
- From the workspace dashboard: New page.
- Choose:
- Manual – You'll upload files later.
- Connect to a cloud source – Pick OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint, Dalux or Zipro. The connection dialog walks you through picking the actual folder.
- Give the page a name.
Page types
| Type | When to use |
|---|---|
| Manual page | Content is uploaded into SKH directly or via URL import |
| OneDrive or SharePoint page | Source remains in Microsoft 365; SKH mirrors the content and keeps it fresh |
| Google Drive page | Same as above, against Google Drive |
| Dalux page | Building plan sync (only visible if Dalux is enabled for your organisation) |
| Zipro page | Records from Zipro (visible when Zipro is enabled) |
SharePoint permission mirroring
For SharePoint pages, SKH can automatically take over SharePoint access rights. Anyone without access in SharePoint also can't see the page in SKH. SKH re-checks this periodically; a banner notifies you if your access has changed. Manual page-member maintenance becomes unnecessary.
Page members
Configurable per page:
- Member – Read.
- Editor – Read + write (upload, rename, delete files).
- Admin – Full access including managing other page members.
Sources of a membership:
- Manual – Added by hand.
- From workspace – Inherited from workspace membership.
- From SharePoint – Mirrored from SharePoint access rights.
Folders
Folders group files inside a page. Folders can be nested. They have no members or roles of their own – permission flows from the page.
Workspace Explorer
The sidebar shows a Workspace Explorer that mirrors the hierarchy:
- Live name search.
- Inline actions: create page, rename, delete.
- Loading indicators next to pages currently syncing.
Organising multiple workspaces
Typical splits:
- By department – HR, Finance, Legal, Engineering.
- By project / customer – One workspace per engagement.
- By access class – "All staff" vs "Confidential (leadership)".
Deleting a workspace
Deleting a workspace is restricted to owners and admins. The deletion dialog requires explicit confirmation.
Caution: Deletion removes every page, folder, file and membership inside the workspace. There is no undo.
Best practices
- Clear naming – Workspace names like "Legal 2025" or "Customer – Acme AG" still make sense years later.
- Few deep hierarchies – Prefer multiple pages inside a workspace over one massive page with many folders.
- Use page members sparingly – If all workspace members should see a page, you don't need dedicated page members at all.
- Check sync status – Synced pages show their status directly on the page. If a page hangs in processing for more than 30 min, the OAuth token has usually expired – disconnect and reconnect under Settings → Integrations.
- Keep content fresh – File and page detail pages show when each item was last changed. On critical workspaces, a periodic review pays off.
