# Overview

A Workspace is a superstructure in RedBrick AI that contains data, as well as multiple projects that share that data.

## Benefits of a Workspace

1. **Simplified data flows** - once your images are uploaded to a Workspace, you can create Projects and populate them with the data you choose in just a few clicks - no more uploading the same data to several slightly different Projects;
2. **Curate with cohorts** - Workspaces also function as a data curation layer, allowing you to create metadata, filter your images, and create cohorts for ease of organization;
3. **Visualize your data** - Workspaces offer a variety of charts and graphs as visual aids to complement your filtering and organization;

To create a new workspace, click the "New workspace" button in the top right corner. Alternatively, click the "+" icon on the left-hand menu bar and select New workspace from the dropdown.

### Step 1: Specify a Unique Workspace Name

Once created, you won't be able to change the name of the workspace.

### Step 2: Uploading Data to Workspace

Once the workspace is created, the next step is to upload the data. Uploading the data in the workspace is similar to how you [upload the data in the project](https://docs.redbrickai.com/importing-data/import-cloud-data).

If you'd like to upload annotation files alongside your images and/or volumes, you must use our CLI/SDK.

### Step 3: Creating Project Inside Workspace

The next step is to create a project inside the newly created workspace. To create a new project, click the New Project button in the top right corner.&#x20;
