A workspace is where a group thinks together in PeerNotes — a seminar, a research group, a knowledge team, a book club. Each member captures privately inside it; what the group shares is the developed thinking. One home, two layers: yours, and the team’s.

​
What’s yours, what’s shared

Private to each member

Your thoughts and sources — the raw, unfiltered capture layer. No teammate ever sees these unless you develop them into something shared.

Shared with the workspace

Notes you’ve opened to teammates, and articles published for everyone — organized by the topics the workspace thinks about.
This split is what makes PeerNotes work: capture stays honest because it’s private, and the shared layer stays high-signal because everything in it was deliberately shared.

​
Members and administrators

Workspaces have two roles:
  • Members capture their own thoughts, collaborate on notes they’re invited to, and read everything published to the workspace.
  • Administrators manage the workspace itself — its settings, members, and topics.
1

Create a workspace

Give it a name, and optionally seed it with the topics you know you’ll be thinking about.
2

Invite members by email

Add teammates from workspace settings — you can invite members and add topics anytime.
3

Add administrators (optional)

Share the admin role with co-organizers who should manage members and settings alongside you.
  • Sidebar feeds — Thoughts, Notes, Sources, and Articles each have their own feed, so you always know which layer you’re looking at.
  • Search — press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl K (Windows) to search across your workspace from anywhere.
  • Topics — browse the Topics page to see the workspace’s themes and dive into everything on a subject.
  • Chat — ask the AI assistant about anything in the workspace.

​
Multiple workspaces

You can belong to several workspaces — say, one for your team and one for a reading group — and switch between them from the workspace switcher. Each workspace is fully separate: its own members, topics, content, and chat.
Treat articles as the workspace’s record. When thinking matures — a decision, a finding, a synthesis worth keeping — publish it. Over time the Articles feed becomes the knowledge base a new member can read to understand how the group thinks.
