# Work in more than one workspace

A workspace is one business in Zero POS with its own books, customers, stock and gift cards. Save each one on your device and switch between them without retyping a password.

Each workspace you sign in to on a device is saved in that device's list. Switching takes two taps and no password.

## Steps

### Switch to another workspace

1. Tap your initials in the top bar, then **Switch workspace**.
2. **Choose your workspace** opens with the workspaces saved on this device.
3. Tap **Enter** on the one you want. It opens on its till.

### Add a workspace to this device

4. On **Choose your workspace**, tap **Add another workspace**.
5. Type the email (or username) and the password you use for that workspace.
6. Tap **Sign in & add**. It joins the list and opens.

### Remove a workspace from this device

7. On **Choose your workspace**, tap the bin beside a workspace (**Remove from list**).
8. It disappears from this device only. The workspace and everything in it are untouched.
9. To clear the whole list, for example before handing the device on, tap **Sign out of all workspaces**.

## What happens next

- Switching signs you out of the workspace you were in and into the other; the sidebar, data and settings change with it.
- Nothing is shared between workspaces: a sale, a customer or a gift card lives in one only.
- A device that has never opened a workspace needs its password once; after that, **Enter** is enough.

## What a workspace is

One business in Zero POS: its own sales, customers, stock, gift cards, users and settings, including the currency, VAT and time zone.

A company trading under different currencies or tax rules usually keeps one workspace each, for example one for Gibraltar and one for Andorra.

## A workspace is not a region

Inside one workspace, regions group shops and keep their customers, payment methods and gift cards apart, but share the workspace's currency, VAT and settings. See [Regions and shops: who sees what](https://zeropos.shop/help/regions-and-shops).

Use regions for several shops under one set of rules; use separate workspaces for separate businesses.

## Common questions

### Is my password the same in every workspace?

Each workspace has its own user for you, so each has its own password. Save a passkey in each one to skip passwords altogether ([Sign in without typing a password](https://zeropos.shop/help/sign-in-and-passkeys)).

### How do I create a new workspace?

On the sign-in page, **Create a workspace** starts a new, empty business. Your existing workspaces are not affected.

## If you see this

- ““Could not enter … Try signing in again.”” — What to do: The saved sign-in for that workspace has expired or was signed out. Remove it from the list, then add it again with **Add another workspace**.
- “**No saved workspaces. Sign in to add one.**” — What to do: This device has none saved yet. Sign in once and the workspace is kept.
- “**Enter your workspace code to sign in with a username.**” — What to do: A username always needs the workspace's code. Your email needs it only when that same email and password open more than one workspace: then type the code of the one you want.
- ““This email is linked to more than one workspace. Pick one first.”” — What to do: Your email and password open more than one workspace. Type the code of the one you want in **Workspace code**, which has appeared on the form, and sign in again. Saved on this device? **Enter** opens it without the code.

## Good to know

- On a shared device, remove the workspaces nobody uses any more, so no one enters the wrong one by mistake.
