Navigate and use Smartcat workspaces

Discover Smartcat workspace, your one-stop translation hub for managing projects, starting translations, inviting collaborators, creating templates, and navigating through various powerful features and settings.

Discover what Smartcat Workspaces are and understand each workspace feature in this introductory guide.

Your Smartcat workspace is where you manage your entire translation workflow! It's your one-stop translation hub on Smartcat.

Via your workspace, access and monitor every translation project that you and your team are working on, start new translations, set up integrations, invite human translators to collaborate, and much more! It all happens via your workspace.

When you log into your Smartcat account, the first thing that you will see is your workspace home screen.

Creating a new workspace on Smartcat

Your organization may require more than one workspace. For instance, one workspace for your marketing department and another for your HR department. For this reason, we've made it super easy to create and manage multiple workspaces.

Note: workspace creation can only be carried out by workspace admins.

To create a workspace, simply go to the top left of your workspace screen and click on the three dots, which will open a pop-up. Click + Create workspace.
