The Workspace is the starting surface for the active Space. Use it to start work, select a project, review recent sessions, configure project behavior, and manage the agents available to Workforce mode.

## Open the Workspace

1. In the project sidebar, select **Workspace**.
2. Confirm the active Space in the sidebar.

The main composer starts a new project unless you select an existing project.

> **Screenshot placeholder:** Add a screenshot of the complete Workspace landing page with the composer, mode toggle, recent sessions, agent list, and instructions panel visible.

## Select a project

The project picker behaves differently depending on the current state:

- In a fresh Workspace, select an existing project before submitting a task.
- After work has started, the selected project is displayed as context.
- Selecting a recent session opens that Project's live Session.

Use **All sessions** to review more projects than the recent-session list shows.

## Start a task

1. Enter a request in the composer.
2. Select Single Agent or Workforce mode.
3. Attach required files.
4. Select **Send**.

Eigent creates a Project when no existing Project is selected.

## Use example prompts

Example prompts appear for an empty Project that does not use a custom agent folder or replayed history. Select a prompt to understand the expected level of task detail, then adapt it to your goal.

## Manage Workforce agents

The Workspace shows built-in and custom workers available to Workforce mode.

You can:

- Review the built-in Developer, Browser, Document, and Multimodal roles.
- Add a worker.
- Edit a custom worker.
- Assign tools to a worker.
- Remove workers that are no longer required.

See [Workers](/core/workers) for configuration details.

## Configure instructions, rules, and tone

Project instructions provide persistent guidance for work in the active Space or Project. Use them for:

- Output conventions
- Brand or writing tone
- Coding standards
- Required files or workflows
- Safety and approval rules

Keep instructions focused and actionable. Put step-by-step reusable expertise in an Agent Skill instead of one large instruction file.

> **Screenshot placeholder:** Add a screenshot of the instructions panel with a short example instruction. Do not include private repository rules.

## Toggle workspace memory

The Workspace includes a memory toggle for instruction behavior. This local setting is separate from the Agent Memory page, which is currently marked coming soon.

## Open recent sessions

Recent sessions display project names and current state. Select one to open its Session. Use the project sidebar or Home dashboard for the complete project history.

> **Video placeholder:** Add a 60-second MP4 showing project selection, instruction editing, worker management, and opening a recent session. Include captions.
