Lab workspace surfaces - FlaskNote

The current FlaskNote app is more than a notebook editor. Once you are inside the authenticated dashboard, the workspace you are in changes which pages and controls you see.

Shared dashboard surfaces

These pages are part of the current app experience and are relevant across the broader workspace shell:

Surface	What it is for
Home	A landing view for recent work and getting back into active experiments
Recents	A focused list of recently viewed projects and experiments, plus quick ways to continue work
Projects	Browse projects and open the experiments inside them
Activity	Timeline, version history, and mentions
Settings	Account and workspace-related settings
Trash	Restore or permanently remove deleted items when your role allows it

Lab-only surfaces

Lab workspaces add shared operational pages that do not appear the same way in Personal Space.

Surface	What it is for
Inventory	Track chemicals, supplies, locations, stock state, and supporting notes
Bookings	Manage instruments and weekly equipment reservations
Team	Manage members, invitations, roles, workspace settings, and workspace billing

How to think about the app

The easiest mental model is:

Choose the right workspace
Use projects to organize a stream of work
Use experiments as the notebook record
Use inventory, bookings, team, and activity when the work becomes operationally shared

Personal Space vs Lab workspace

Personal Space is optimized for private work and evaluation. Lab workspaces are where shared operations become first-class. If your lab needs shared inventory, instrument scheduling, team invitations, or workspace billing, you are in Lab workspace territory.
