Workspaces
1 What is it?
A workspace is a kind of a Repository, shared with several users and / or groups, each with his own rights.
When you add Content Objects to a Workspace, they are automatically shared with the users and / or groups in this Workspace. .
Mind : users do not get an announcement when you share a content object with them. You have to send them a separate message.

- Copy allowed: thick this off if users in your Workspace may copy your Content Objects to their own Repository. In this case, they are free to edit your Content Objects. They become the owner of the copy and they can edit it. These changes don't affect your original Content Object..
- Co-Course manager: when you thick this off, users of a Workspace will have THE SAME rights as the owner of the Workspace: manage rights, edit content, even delete the entire Workspace. Use this option with care!
