A teamspace in Notion gives you a convenient spot to add all the pages you and your team need. Whether it’s a wiki or task pages, you can share them with everyone by simply putting them in a teamspace. If you’ve finished your project and no longer need the Notion teamspace, this tutorial shows how to remove it.
Tip: you can set up a wiki in Notion for your product, sales, marketing, or engineering team, for the company as a whole or just yourself.
How to Delete a Teamspace in Notion
While you do have the ability to delete a workspace in Notion, a teamspace works a bit differently. As of this writing, you can’t delete a teamspace, but you can archive it. This removes the teamspace and all of its pages from your sidebar.
- You must be the teamspace owner to archive it. There are three spots to access and archive the Notion teamspace.
- Click “All teamspaces” at the top of the sidebar.
- Open “Settings & members,” and choose “Teamspaces” on the left.
- Select the teamspace you’d like to archive in the Teamspaces section of the sidebar.
- Click the three dots to the right of the teamspace name, and select “Archive teamspace.”
- Confirm that you want to remove the teamspace by entering its name and choosing “Archive teamspace.”
- If you are viewing a page within the teamspace when you archive it, you’ll see a red banner across the top letting you know that the page is in an archived teamspace.
Navigate to another spot to work on a project, and the page and banner will vanish.
Recover an Archived Teamspace in Notion
If you’re the owner of a workspace that contained a teamspace, then archived it, you can recover it. This places the teamspace and all its contents back in the sidebar for you, as well as the members who accessed it before.
- Select “Settings & members” near the top of the sidebar.
- Select “Teamspaces” from the Workspace section on the left. Note that you may not see this option if you don’t have another active teamspace.
- On the right, below Manage Teamspaces, click the “Archived” drop-down box, and select “Archived.”
- Select the three dots to the right of the teamspace, and choose “Restore teamspace.”
The teamspace will return to your Notion sidebar.
Tip: You can add templates to your Notion workspace from a Notion.site, provided the creators enabled this option.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a teamspace and workspace in Notion?
A workspace is a general area that holds your Notion templates, pages, and content. A teamspace, on the other hand, is a space you set up specifically to share content with your team members. Think of it as a mini workspace. You, as the owner, can decide the level of access for team members, from creating additional teamspaces to editing a teamspace’s content.
How do I leave a teamspace in Notion?
If you’re a member of a teamspace, you can leave it if you no longer want to be a part of it. Select the three dots to the right of the teamspace in the sidebar, and choose “Leave teamspace.”
How do I remove members from a teamspace?
To remove a member from a teamspace, click the three dots to the right of the teamspace, and select “Teamspace settings.” Use the drop-down menu to the right of the member’s name to choose “Remove,” then confirm in the pop-up window.
