Workspaces need a free account. Tool pages like PDF to brief and PDF to quiz take up to 5 PDFs at a time and create a quick workspace that doesn't count toward your limit. Deleting a workspace removes its saved outputs; the documents stay.
Does a workspace copy my documents?
No. It only references them. Documents stay where they are; unpinned ones follow their latest version.
Can I share a workspace with my team?
Not yet. Workspaces belong to your account. Share the generated PDF instead.
