# Create and invite

The end-to-end flow for setting up a team workspace: create the team, upgrade to Business if you haven't, add seats, invite teammates, set their permissions. Three to five minutes from "I'm working solo" to "my team is in".

## What it does

Bundles three things that used to be separate flows: create team, manage seats, send invites. They happen in the same panel, in order, so the setup feels like one task instead of three.

## How to do it

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the workspace dropdown

Top-left of the homepage. Under "Personal" and any existing teams, click **Create team**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Name the team

Use the actual name you'll refer to it as. "Acme Agency", "L'Oreal Q2 Campaign", "Internal R\&D". The name shows up in the workspace dropdown for every member.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Upgrade to Business if you haven't

Multi-seat teams require a Business plan. The flow prompts for upgrade if your account isn't there. Pick monthly or annual; annual carries a discount and a 14-day trial. Card details get stored against the Business account.

See [Plans and billing](/teams-and-billing/plans-and-billing.md) for tier details.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Add seats

The seats panel shows the current count and a control to add more. One seat per person you want on the team. Seats add to the Business plan's per-seat billing. Confirm the count.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Invite teammates

The invitations field accepts email addresses. Type one, hit enter, type another. For each invitee, set permissions: Member or Owner.

* **Member** – can edit projects in the team, view shared assets, render against the team's credit balance. Can't manage the team's settings or billing.
* **Owner** – everything a Member can do, plus manage seats, invite or remove others, change the team's plan, modify billing.

Pick Owner for collaborators you trust with the team's settings. Pick Member for everyone else.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Send

The invites email out. Each invitee gets a link to accept; once they click and sign in, they appear in the team's member list and can switch into the team workspace.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Adding more seats later

Anytime, from the team's settings panel:

1. Open the workspace dropdown.
2. Click the team's settings icon.
3. **Manage seats** – increases or decreases the seat count. New seats add to the next billing cycle. Removing seats is allowed only if the seats aren't currently filled.

## Inviting more teammates later

Same panel. **Invite member** opens the invitation flow with the email field. Same Member / Owner choice as above.

To remove a member: their row in the member list has a remove icon. Confirms before removing; the seat becomes available for a new invite.

{% hint style="info" %}
Removing a member doesn't delete their work. Projects they authored remain in the team workspace. To transfer ownership of a specific project before removing the member, use [Project ownership](/teams-and-billing/project-ownership.md).
{% endhint %}

## Limits and known issues

* **Email invitations expire** if not accepted. Today the team admin UI doesn't surface expired state, so every invite shows **Pending** regardless of whether it's still valid. If an invite is past its window, revoke it from the same panel and reinvite.
* **Pending invites count against your seats.** A seat is reserved when you send the invite, not when the invitee accepts. Cancel the invite to free the seat. Expired-but-shown-as-Pending invites still count toward the allotment, so prune the list when you're managing seat capacity.
* **Free and Explorer tiers cannot have multi-user teams.** The Business upgrade is the gate; there's no path around it for teams of two or more.
