# Workspaces Category

> **Note**
>
> This is the legacy eSignature Workspaces feature. To use the newest Workspaces product, please check our [Workspaces API](/docs/workspaces-api).

A workspace is a collaborative space for sharing documents and managing workflows. A workspace has a single owner who must be a Docusign user. The owner can invite others to the workspace as collaborators. Individuals who are not Docusign users must create a Docusign account to join a workspace as a collaborator.

You can create an envelope directly from a workspace.

Workspaces store the following information:

* **Files:** Files uploaded to a workspace for storage or reuse.
* **Documents:** A document is a component of a transaction, template, or workspace. When a file is added to a transaction, template, or workspace, it is copied as a document. Each document in a workspace has a single owner.
* **Templates:** A set of documents that you can use to create a transaction or a workspace.
* **Transactions:** A transaction is a series of workflow events related to one or more documents. These events route the documents to one or more individuals for the purposes of doing business. Each transaction has a single owner (the sender).

**Note:** Documents in a template are not individually listed as files.
