Workspaces and Access

Switch workspaces

Change the active workspace while keeping your place when the same destination is available.

Switch when you need to work in your personal context or another organization. The destination can stay the same while its content changes.

Select a workspace

  1. On a wide screen, select the workspace at the top of the sidebar. On a compact screen, open More, then select the current workspace.
  2. In Available workspaces, choose your personal entry or an organization.
  3. If CareMap asks to discard unsaved changes, cancel to keep working or confirm when you are ready to discard them.
  4. Check the new workspace name before continuing.

Settings > Account > Usage > Usage workspace provides the same switcher. It changes the app's active workspace, not just a preview of another balance.

CareMap remembers the selection separately for each account in this browser or device profile when local storage is available. It is not a setting synchronized across all your devices.

What stays and what changes

When the destination is available in the new workspace, CareMap keeps that area open. Otherwise it opens Home and announces the fallback. Keeping an area does not promise to keep the same item: switching from a nested Library folder opens the target workspace's Library context, rather than carrying the old folder into it.

A normal Settings section can remain open. Switching from Settings search returns to the Settings root. Search queries belong to their workspace and section: another workspace's query is not applied to the new one. A previous query can reappear when you return, particularly on wide screens. On compact screens, leaving a section clears its transient search. Clear the displayed search if it hides content you expect.

Save important work before switching. The discard prompt applies to editors that report an unsaved draft; do not rely on switching to save a draft.

An accessible workspace specified by a link takes priority over the remembered selection. When that workspace is unavailable, CareMap tries an available remembered workspace, then the personal workspace, then an available organization. Recheck the displayed name after following an old link.

Suspended entries remain disabled. Read-only limits authoring rather than preventing entry. If a workspace disappears after access changes, refresh and ask the organization Owner or Manager Staff member to review your membership. A link cannot restore removed permission or make unavailable content editable.
