Workspace feature list

Everything the module does, grouped by what you would be trying to achieve. Where a feature has a guide, the guide is linked.

Setting up a workspace

Feature	What it does
Four workspace types	Decision, Research, Policy, and Delivery
Name	What the workspace is called
Purpose	Gives Research and Content a shared decision boundary, so the AI can judge relevance
AI instructions	Standing instructions applied to every AI chat in the workspace
Workspace options	Settings for the workspace after creation
Filter this Workspace	One box that filters content, research, and references together

Feature	What it does
Add from Assets	Opens the service’s asset store and links one registered item into the workspace
Upload	Adds a file straight from your machine
Module filters	Facets down the side of the picker, each with a live count
Review status filter	Narrows the picker to assets in a given review state
Evidence signals	Six signals per asset — authority, provenance, publisher/owner, source date, geography, review status — with a filled-in count
Automatic selection	The AI chooses which references are relevant to a question rather than reading everything

Gather references covers this rail.

Feature	What it does
AI-planned topics	The workspace breaks a request into separately answerable topics and registers them
Question and status	Each item records what it set out to answer and whether it finished
Summary and findings	A short answer, then the detail
Per-finding sources	Real links, plus a Sources used count on every step in the AI panel
Evidence gaps	The panel reports “Research completed with evidence gaps” instead of claiming completeness
Asset metadata	Edits the item’s name, description, and keywords, and pins it in the workspace
Ask AI to suggest metadata	Fills the metadata fields for you
Registered as service assets	Research and scratchpads appear in any asset picker in the service, which is the only route evidence takes between workspaces
Remove	Takes an item out of the workspace

Feature	What it does
Documents	The full document editor, inside the workspace
Charts	Diagrams built with the Charts designer
Scratchpads	A free canvas with drawing, elements, pan, and zoom
Draft and Live	Page status per item. Drafts stay editor-only
Landing page	The item that opens first, required before you can publish
Configure page	Name, description, page status, landing page, keywords, and collection for one item
Collections	Group content items, and become named groups in the published navigation
Keywords	Free-text tags for anything the service has no field for
Ask AI to suggest metadata	Fills name, description, and keywords from the item’s own content
Pinned in this Workspace	Keeps an item to hand
Organise navigation	Arranges published pages into navigation groups, by hand or from collections
Per-item versions	The publish dialog shows each item’s current and published version
Generated from N sources	Provenance badge recording what an item was written from
Linked from	Backlinks showing what points at an item

Create content covers this rail.

Feature	What it does
Multi-step plans	Scaffolds topics first, researches each separately, then plans the content
Visible progress	Each step shows a tick, a duration, and a completed-task count
Runs in the background	A plan keeps running if you navigate away
Stop this run	Halts the plan after the current request. Provider requests cannot be paused mid-flight
Auto-apply	New content is created for you; edits to existing content stay staged until approved
Approve and Dismiss	Per-change buttons on a staged suggestion
Review mode	Switch auto-apply off to review every suggestion
Starter prompts	Draft business requirements, research the gaps, create a scratchpad of open questions, suggest Asset metadata
Personas	The assistant persona is selectable
Conversation history	Past conversations, plus a button to start a new one
Context meter	Shows how much of the conversation budget is used before compaction
Duplicate avoidance	The AI reuses an existing item rather than creating a second one
Team-visible transcripts	Recorded transcripts are visible to workspace members

Feature	What it does
Share Workspace	Sets internal access — Private, Restricted, or Internal
Share links	Time-limited links, with an expiry in days
Publish Workspace	Publishes Live content to a reader-facing page
Publish summary	Shows the landing page, the item count, and how many drafts are being omitted
Allow comments	Lets signed-in viewers leave feedback on the published copy
Version history note	Records what changed in a publish
Open published Workspace	Opens the reader-facing copy

Not available	Detail
Private AI chats	Transcripts are visible to workspace members by design
Pausing a request mid-flight	Stop applies after the current provider request completes
Publishing drafts	Only Live items are published, and the landing page must be Live
Anonymous access from the workspace	Anonymous visitors need an External Publisher URL
Adding several references at once	The asset picker confirms one item at a time
Research without a question	The AI works from the workspace purpose and your request; a vague ask produces a vague plan
Cross-workspace research	Evidence travels through the Asset Library, not directly between workspaces
A published copy beyond the landing page	On the version tested, extra Live pages publish but are not linked from the published contents list

Quickstart works a real decision through end to end. Capabilities maps each feature to the page covering it.
