Projects are the main grouping layer inside a workspace. Every experiment lives in a project, so projects are where you create structure before a notebook ever opens.

​
How projects fit into the model

  • Workspaces are the collaboration and billing boundary
  • Projects are the organization boundary inside a workspace
  • Experiments are the notebook records inside a project
That means a clean project structure usually matters more than a large number of folders or tags.

​
What happens in each workspace type

​
Personal Space

Your Personal Space starts with a default personal project so you can begin writing experiments immediately. Use Personal Space projects when you want private work, solo organization, or a place to draft before moving work into a team setting.

​
Lab workspace

Lab workspaces can contain multiple shared projects for different programs, assays, campaigns, or workstreams. The Projects page lets you:
  • browse all projects in the current workspace
  • open the experiments inside a project
  • create new projects and experiments if your role allows it
  • see projects shared directly with you

​
Good project boundaries

A project should map to a meaningful stream of work, not just a temporary label. Good examples:
  • one compound series
  • one screening campaign
  • one assay development effort
  • one client or delivery stream
Less helpful examples:
  • one giant project for the entire lab
  • a new project for every small notebook
  • a catch-all project called misc

​
Project sharing

LabScribe supports both workspace membership and narrower project-level sharing. Use project sharing when someone needs access to a specific body of work without becoming part of the full team workspace. For recurring internal collaboration, workspace membership is usually the cleaner model.
