Your team and access#

How to invite somebody, what that actually opens for them, and the one thing almost everybody gets wrong the first time.

The «People» page: the invite bar, the scope, the levels, and the list of everybody who has access.

  1. It starts on «People»

    Open «People» in the sidebar. The invite bar at the top takes either an email address or a mobile number; whichever you have is enough.

  2. Scope, level, and which boards

    Three things are asked underneath it: whether the access is to the whole workspace or to one specific process, which level it is, and which boards to tick in the list below.

    You can tick no boards at all. The person is then a member of the workspace and still sees no process, which is a perfectly valid state and sometimes exactly the one you want.

  3. Workspace membership does not open the boards

    This is the one everybody gets wrong first, and the page says so under the form: adding somebody to the workspace on its own opens no process. Everybody, at any level, sees only the boards you ticked for them.

    The one exception is the workspace owner, who reaches every board. Any other role, «Manager» included, sees only the boards that were picked for them.

  4. Three levels, and the owner

    «Viewer» only looks, «Editor» looks and changes, and «Manager» also sets other people's access. «Owner» is not something you grant; it is whoever made the workspace.

  5. Changing it later

    Anybody's level changes from their own row, and so does a pending invite's: you do not have to revoke it and send a second one. Taking access away is on the same row.

Manifesto

A person’s attention is the most valuable thing they bring to work. Every one of us has a limited amount of energy, focus, and presence each day, and a day that is spent does not come back. This is true for every single person on a team, not only the ones at the top. So the real question for any company is a simple one: what are we asking people to spend their days on?

Too often, the answer is repetition. We ask people to copy, paste, reformat, check the same list again, and write the same message for the hundredth time. The work gets finished, but something is lost. A person doing repetitive work is a person who is not thinking. We believe this is a serious mistake, not because such work is beneath anyone, but because a human being is the wrong tool for it. Machines are patient with repetition. People are not, and they should not have to be.

We are building for the other side of that trade. Models now have the processing power and the intelligence to carry the repeating part: the reading, the sorting, the drafting, everything that follows a known pattern. Hand that over, and look at what is left for people: creating things, staying curious, wrestling with problems that have no certain answer, sitting with a question while it is still unclear, and making something new and then changing it again. That is what a human day should be spent on. We think it should be the normal day, not the rare one.
