# Workspaces and Collaboration

<p>A <strong>workspace</strong> defines how teams work together in Lookout. It is the container for everything a team builds — audiences, activations, chats, dashboards, warehouse connections, and Context Hub notes — and the unit that decides who can see and change what.</p>
<p>Each workspace has a short, URL-friendly name (slug) that appears in every link. All resources live inside exactly one workspace, and the workspace decides which warehouses, RudderStack account, and repositories the team&rsquo;s chats can reach. A single person can belong to several workspaces and switch between them by navigating to a different workspace URL.</p>

      <p>Behind the scenes, a sign-in identifies a user, not a particular workspace.</p>
<p>Lookout checks your membership of a workspace whenever you open it — so you only ever see workspaces you have been added to, and switching teams never requires signing in again.</p>
