Seats

How many people fit in your workspace, what fills a seat, and how to ask for more.

A seat is one person in your workspace. How many you have comes from your plan, and the Workspace page says where you stand — used of total, drawn as a row of seats while there are few enough to count, and as a meter when there are more.

What fills a seat

Anyone in the workspace, and anyone you have invited who has not answered yet. An unanswered invitation holds its seat because a promised seat is not an available one — otherwise you could invite ten people to a workspace with room for three and find out afterwards.

If you need a seat back from an invitation nobody answered, free it.

When they are all taken

ANVL says so plainly rather than letting you get most of the way through inviting someone and then failing. From there you can ask for more: you say how many, and the request goes to us with the number attached.

It is a request, not a purchase — nobody is charged by clicking it. We come back to you.

Deciding how many

Count the people who make things, not the people who look at them. Someone who only ever needs to see a finished presentation does not need a seat: send them the file, or ask us for a brand portal link if what they want is the brand.

That is the most common reason a workspace runs out of room — seats spent on people who never sign in.
