Choose and switch workspaces
Understand where learning, course creation, business management, and platform operations live.
Updated 1 September 2026
Each workspace keeps a different kind of work and permission boundary in view.
Learning is where you browse public courses and continue your own learning.
Instructor is for personal course creation, preview, and review preparation.
Business is for organisation courses, members, groups, assignments, and reporting.
Platform Admin is restricted to platform-wide review and operational work.
When your account has multiple available workspaces, use the workspace label in the
top navigation to open a chooser. The current workspace is marked in the list.
If you have a personal learner account and have not enabled Instructor, the top
navigation shows Instructor instead of a redundant Learning label. Select it to
open Profile > Workspaces, where you can review and enable the personal Instructor
workspace. After activation, Learning and Instructor appear in the workspace chooser.
An account with only one available workspace and no eligible setup action does not show
a workspace control.
Select Manage workspaces from your account menu to open Profile > Workspaces.
This section shows the workspaces available to your account and the actions for adding
access. If you open a workspace URL without the required role or capability, the
platform takes you to this section and shows a focused explanation of what is missing
and what you can do next.
Business-linked activity is separate from personal activity. Switching workspace
changes the tools and navigation you see; it does not move a personal purchase into a
Business library or turn an organisation course into a personal course.
The desktop Resume shortcut is available on Learning routes and opens the
eligible in-progress course you started most recently. You can have several courses
in progress; visiting an older one does not change this start-date ordering. Hover
over Resume or focus it with the keyboard to see the destination course in a tooltip.
Long titles wrap there without widening the button. Resume does not appear while you
are inside a course, in Instructor, Business, or Platform Admin, or on shared pages
such as Profile, Help, Explore, and course details. Switching workspace preserves
your learning progress; return to Home or My Learning to continue.
If you expected Business access, ask an organisation Admin to review your membership.
Business-linked accounts do not use the personal Instructor workspace; course authors
work in Business after an Admin grants Content Author access.
For role details, read Manage team access.
