# Creating a workspace

> Create a new Mammoth workspace from the workspace dropdown, choose a plan, and see what a new workspace includes. Also covers renaming and deleting.

A **workspace** is your dedicated environment in Mammoth Analytics where you manage your data, projects, team members, and settings. Each workspace is isolated—users, data, and configurations are separate from other workspaces you may own or belong to.

This guide is for anyone creating their first workspace or adding another one. Start with [What you'll need](#what-youll-need), then follow Step 1 through Step 5.

## What you'll need

To create a workspace, you need:

- **A Mammoth Analytics account**: Sign up at [mammoth.io](https://mammoth.io) if you don't have one yet
- **A workspace name**: Something descriptive, such as "Marketing Analytics", "Sales Dashboard", or "Product Data Lab"

## How to create a workspace

### Step 1: Find the workspace selector

1. Sign in to Mammoth Analytics at [app.mammoth.io](https://app.mammoth.io)
2. Look at the **top-left corner** of the application, where your current workspace name appears with a dropdown arrow

### Step 2: Open the Create New Workspace dialog

1. Click the **workspace dropdown** (top-left) to see a list of your workspaces
2. At the **top** of the dropdown, click **+ Create New Workspace**
3. A dialog appears where you enter your workspace name

### Step 3: Enter a workspace name

The dialog only asks for one thing:

| Field | Details |
| --- | --- |
| **Workspace name** | Enter a descriptive name. This appears in the top-left dropdown and all workspace management pages. Examples: "Marketing Analytics", "Sales Dashboard", "Product Data Lab" |

Click **Create** to proceed. There's no plan picker in this dialog. Plan selection happens on the next screen.

### Step 4: Choose a plan

If the new workspace doesn't have a plan yet, Mammoth takes you to a plan-selection screen showing the available self-serve plans with a **Monthly** / **Annually** billing toggle. Each plan card has a trial button (for example, **Start with Pro trial**).

On this screen you either pick a plan, or use the **Delete workspace** link at the bottom to remove the workspace you just created. If you meant to switch accounts instead, use **Log out** in the same location.

### Step 5: Start using the workspace

**Expected result**: Your workspace is created, and Mammoth switches you to it. You see:

![New Marketing workspace with an empty Data Library in the New project project, a free trial banner, and a New Dataset button](https://docs.mammoth.io/api/v1/images/20260504_174533_Screenshot2026-04-291722361.jpg)

- **Workspace name** in the top-left dropdown, such as "Marketing"
- **A default project** named "New project", ready for data
- **Data Library** showing "No Datasets yet", ready for your first dataset
- **Left sidebar** with navigation (Data Library, Automations, Dashboards, etc.)
- **Free Trial banner**, if you are on a trial plan, showing when your trial ends

You can start uploading data immediately or create additional projects from the project selector in the top breadcrumb.

## What happens after creation

### Automatic setup

- Your new workspace is **active immediately** and ready to use
- You're automatically set as the **Workspace Owner** with full permissions
- A **default project** named "New project" is created automatically

### Your new workspace includes

- **Data Library**: Ready to receive your first dataset
- **Empty state**: The Data Library shows "No Datasets yet" until you create a dataset
- **Navigation sidebar** with access to all Mammoth features (Data Library, Automations, Dashboards, etc.)
- **Workspace name** displayed in the top-left dropdown
- **Plan information banner**, if applicable: Shows plan status and any relevant alerts

### Next steps

Once your workspace is created, you can:

| Task | Where to start |
| --- | --- |
| **Invite team members** | Workspace Settings → User Management → **Invite Users** |
| **Upload your first dataset** | Data Library |
| **Upgrade your plan** | Workspace Settings → Plan & Storage |
| **Set up API access** | Workspace Settings → API Keys |
| **Create projects** | Project selector in the top breadcrumb → New Project |

## Workspace naming conventions

Choose workspace names that clearly describe their purpose:

**Good names:**

- "Marketing Analytics Q2-Q3"
- "Financial Reporting - FY2024"
- "Customer Insights - Product Team"
- "Sales Pipeline Dashboard"

**Avoid vague names:**

- "Workspace 1" or "Test"
- "My Data"
- Single letters

## Plans and billing

Mammoth offers Free, Starter, Team, Pro, and Enterprise plans. Enterprise is arranged through sales. Paid plans can be billed **Monthly** or **Annually**. For current pricing and plan comparisons, see **Workspace Settings → Plan & Storage** or contact sales.

### Changing your plan later

You can change or upgrade your plan at any time.

**Prerequisite**: You are a Workspace Owner.

1. Go to **Workspace Settings** (bottom-left sidebar) → **Plan & Storage**
2. Click the upgrade button
3. Select a new plan and confirm

**Expected result**: Plan changes don't affect your data or projects.

## Frequently asked questions

**Q: Can I change the workspace name after creating it?**\
A: Yes. Go to Workspace Settings → General → click the edit (pencil) icon next to the workspace name.

**Q: How many workspaces can I create?**\
A: You can create multiple workspaces. Each workspace is independent and has its own plan.

**Q: What if I forget my workspace name?**\
A: Click the workspace dropdown (top-left) to see all workspaces you own or belong to.

**Q: Can I delete a workspace after creating it?**\
A: Yes, self-serve. You don't need to contact support.

Mammoth asks you to confirm that you understand this cancels your subscription and deletes your workspace.

A: No. All your workspaces remain accessible in the workspace dropdown. You can switch between them anytime.
