# Workspaces and Environments Explained

Agentic Studio uses a two-level structure of workspaces and environments to give you precise control over where Digital Workers operate and what data they can access. Understanding this structure is essential before you install or configure anything.

#### Workspaces

A workspace is an isolated container for a specific business area, site, or use case. Each workspace maintains its own data, context, and learning independently, which means a Digital Worker in one workspace cannot be influenced by activity in another. Connectors are also configured per workspace, so each workspace connects to its own external systems independently.

Workspaces support three separation models. You choose based on your organizational needs:

* **Environment separation:** handled automatically within each workspace. Every workspace includes UAT and Production environments by default.
* **Functional separation:** create one workspace per business function, such as one for Accounts Payable and another for Customer Order Management, each with its own Digital Workers, connectors, and data.
* **Business unit separation:** create workspaces per division or region, each fully isolated from the others.

This isolation is particularly useful for organizations running multiple sites or business units with distinct processes. For example, a field service team with operations in two countries can create one workspace per region, ensuring local SLA rules, terminology, and system configurations stay separate.

#### Planning your workspace structure

For most use cases, the right number of workspaces maps directly to the number of distinct functional areas or business units you need to keep separate. Two Digital Workers serving different functions, such as AP and COM, typically warrant two workspaces. You would only need additional workspaces if you require further separation, such as regional deployments or a dedicated sandbox for experimentation.

**Limit:** Each tenant can create a maximum of five workspaces. Plan your workspace structure carefully before you begin.

#### Environments

Every workspace includes exactly two environments:

* **UAT (User Acceptance Testing):** a safe space to install, modify, and test Digital Workers before they handle real operations. All changes start here.
* **Production:** the live environment where Digital Workers process real events. Digital Workers are promoted to Production only after being tested and published in UAT.
