 ====== Workspace ======
-A **Workspace **contains [[:general:process|]]content.
+A **Workspace **is a container for [[:general:process|]] content. One workspace can contain multiple process versions. One specific process version is marked as the [[:general:validversion|valid version]] and one specific version is the [[:general:workingversion|working version]].
+A ''workspace'' is a container where your process resides. You will typically see a related set of ''workflows'' (process) organized in a given ''workspace''.
+Additionally, a ''workspace'' will also contain settings to configure and manage the process in that ''workspace''.
+It is important to understand that ''workspace'' contains process that people collaborate on. ''Workspace'' does not belong to any user, but is created to house (model, use and execute) a ''process''. Depending on the permissions, user(s) may be able to take specific actions, including modeling or just viewing of a process, in a ''workspace''.
+Another point to be noted is that when a ''process'' is versioned, all the ''workflows'' that make up the process in the given ''workspace'' are versioned at one go. You can read more about versioning here.
+===== Workspace structure =====
