# Edit and delete a workspace

Both live on the workspace card's kebab menu, on the **My Workspaces** list. Editing changes a workspace's name and whether it is public or private. Deleting removes the workspace and everything inside it, permanently, with a single confirmation.

## Open the workspace menu

On the workspaces list, each card has a **⋮** menu. It holds **Edit Workspace**, **Assign Workspace**, [**Duplicate Workspace**](/docs/understand-workspaces/duplicate-workspace), [**Export Workspace**](/docs/understand-workspaces/export-workspace) and **Delete Workspace**.

Every workspace-level action lives here. There is no settings page above it.

## Edit a workspace

**Edit Workspace** opens a dialog titled `Edit '<workspace name>'` with two things in it:

*   **Name** – the workspace's name in your dashboard. It is also the title shown in the editor sidebar. It is _not_ your site's URL and it is _not_ the title on your published site: the URL is the subdomain under [Hosting & Visibility](/docs/hosting/access-and-content-sharing), and the site title is **Title** under [Customize](/docs/customize/customize-your-docs-site). Renaming here breaks nothing.
*   **Public / Private** – the same two radios as the New Workspace dialog. **Private** is disabled with a padlock unless you have a paid subscription or an active trial.

Click **Edit** to save, or **Cancel** to back out.

This dialog only offers the Public/Private pair. **Protected** – password access – and everything else about visibility, including private link rules and per-collection access, is set inside the workspace under **Hosting & Visibility**.

## Delete a workspace

**Delete Workspace** opens `Delete '<workspace name>'`, which asks "Are you sure you wish to delete this workspace?" and gives you **Cancel** and **Delete workspace**. There is no name to type and no second confirmation.

Deleting a workspace cannot be undone

Every collection, every page and every draft in the workspace goes with it, along with its settings and its subdomain. Dewstack has no trash and no restore for workspaces, and [Page History](/docs/managing-pages/page-history) cannot help you – it only restores revisions of a page that still exists. If there is any chance you'll want the content back, run an [export](/docs/understand-workspaces/export-workspace) first and wait for the email before you delete.

If what you actually want is to take a site offline rather than destroy it, set its visibility to **Private** under **Hosting & Visibility** instead. The site stops being reachable at its public URL, and the content stays where it is.

## Who can do this

The workspace menu is on the card, so anyone who can see the card can open it. Editing and deleting follow your team role: **Owner** and **Admin** can do both, and a member who has only been [assigned the workspace](/docs/team-support/assign-workspace) works inside it rather than managing it: **Delete Workspace** appears on the card menu for **Owners** and **Admins** only. **Creators** and **Editors** do not see the item at all.
