Concepts
Workspaces are the team boundary for knowledge operations.
A workspace is the top-level container in SnippetGraph. It defines who can participate, which knowledgebases live together, how releases are governed, and where exports are delivered.

Purpose
Why workspaces exist
Workspaces prevent the platform from turning into one undifferentiated pile of content. They let teams separate ownership, permissions, review policy, and delivery targets in a way that mirrors real organizational boundaries.
A good rule is this: if two groups would not normally share the same release process or repository destinations, they should probably live in different workspaces.

Practical guidance
How to decide workspace boundaries
Use workspaces to reflect release ownership first, not org charts alone. A Support workspace might contain a customer-help KB and an internal escalation KB. A Platform workspace might manage runbooks, operational standards, and AI assistant policy content.
Avoid creating too many small workspaces too early. Fragmentation at the workspace layer can make reuse harder. Start with the smallest number that still preserves clear ownership and policy.
Next move
Set the operational boundary first, then add content.
When a workspace is well-defined, everything downstream becomes simpler: roles, release policy, destination mapping, and long-term knowledge ownership.
