Join a Space
Join a Space when someone has invited you to an existing work area. You can join with an invite code, open an invite link, or accept a pending invite when Space setup shows one.
Terms you may see:
- Join space opens the Join Space dialog.
- Enter Space Join Code is where you paste or type the invite code.
- Submit checks the join code and adds the Space when the invite is valid.
- Your role and access come from the Space owner/admin and invite settings.
Before you start
- A valid invite code, invite link, or pending Space invite.
- The account that should receive access to the Space.
- An invite that has not expired, been deleted, or been revoked.
Join with an invite code
- Open Space setup.
- Choose Join space.
- Paste or type the code into Enter Space Join Code.
- Choose Submit.
- Wait for the app to add and open the Space.
Expected outcome: The joined Space appears in your available Spaces. Your role and permissions come from the invite or from the Space owner/admin.
Join from an invite link
- Open the invite link you received.
- Sign in if the app asks you to authenticate.
- Confirm you are using the account that should accept the invite.
- Continue through the Space setup flow.
- Confirm the Space appears in your Space switcher.
Expected outcome: The invite is accepted by the correct account and the Space becomes available in the app.
Accept a pending invite
- Open Space setup.
- Review the Space Invitations area if it appears.
- Confirm the invite is for the expected Space.
- Choose Accept.
- Wait for the Space to become available.
Expected outcome: The pending invite is accepted and the Space appears in your available Spaces.
Troubleshooting
Submit is disabled
- Symptom: The Submit action cannot be selected.
- Cause: Enter Space Join Code is empty.
- Resolution:
- Paste or type the invite code.
- Confirm the code was copied completely.
- Try Submit again.
The invite code is invalid
- Symptom: The app rejects the invite code or the Space does not appear.
- Cause: The code may be expired, typed incorrectly, deleted, restored incorrectly, already used in a way that blocks reuse, or intended for a different account.
- Resolution:
- Copy and paste the full code again.
- Confirm you are signed in with the intended account.
- Ask the Space owner/admin to check the invite code status.
- Ask for a new invite if the code is no longer valid.
The Space is missing after joining
- Symptom: The join action completes, but the Space is not visible.
- Cause: You may be signed in with another account, the invite may not have completed, or the app may need to refresh membership.
- Resolution:
- Confirm the signed-in account.
- Refresh Space setup.
- Ask the Space owner/admin to confirm your member row is Active.
- Ask for a new invite if the member row is missing or declined.
FAQ
Can I accept an invite before signing in?
Yes. Opening an invite can send you through sign-in first, then continue to Space setup.
What happens after I join a Space?
The Space becomes available to your account. The work you can see depends on your role and item permissions.
Can I forward my invite link to someone else?
Do not forward invite links unless the Space owner/admin says it is allowed. Invites may be tied to an intended account or permission level.
