Workspace Defaults set timezone, currency, language, daily digest time for the whole workspace. Individuals can override personal preferences.
Workspace Defaults
Open Settings → Team → Workspace Defaults to set the team-wide dashboard preset/profile, the home hub layout, member policy flags, and the conversion source. Timezone, currency, and language are personal display preferences (Settings → Personal → Appearance), not workspace defaults.
Who is this for
Admins doing the initial workspace setup, or shaping the default home experience and member policy for everyone in the team.
What's editable
The Workspace Defaults page manages:
Note: timezone, currency, and language are not set here — those are per-user display preferences under Settings → Personal → Appearance (see team-118).
How to update
Step 1: Open Workspace Defaults
Navigate to Settings → Team → Workspace Defaults. URL: /settings/team/workspace-defaults.
Step 2: Edit the preset, layout, and policy
- Profile / preset: pick the workspace profile — this updates the active preset (
PUT /api/v1/team-workspace/profile) - Hub layout + preset config: adjust the home section configuration (
PUT /api/v1/team-workspace/preset) - Policy flags: toggle whether members can hide / reorder / pin sections and use custom templates
Step 3: Save
Save your changes. Members' home layouts pick up the new default (subject to the policy flags and any personal customization they've made).
Workspace defaults vs personal preferences
In short: Workspace Defaults shape the default home experience and member policy for the team; timezone, currency, language, and theme are personal display preferences each user sets for themselves.
Member policy flags
The policy flags decide how much members can personalize their own home:
- allow_user_hide — members may hide home sections
- allow_user_reorder — members may reorder sections
- allow_user_pin — members may pin sections
- allow_user_templates — members may use custom templates
Turn these off to keep a consistent home across the team; turn them on to let members tailor their own view.
What you'll see
After saving, the change is recorded in the audit log (team_workspace.profile_update when you change the profile) and members' home layouts reflect the new default the next time they load it, subject to the policy flags.
Common issues
- A member's home doesn't match the default: they have personal customization, and the policy flags allow it. Turn the relevant
allow_user_*flag off to enforce the default. - Looking for timezone / currency / language here: those are personal display preferences under Settings → Personal → Appearance, not Workspace Defaults.
FAQ
What can I set in Wevion's Workspace Defaults?
Workspace Defaults, at Settings → Team → Workspace Defaults, let admins set the team-wide dashboard preset/profile, the home hub layout, member policy flags (whether members may hide, reorder, pin sections, or use custom templates), and the conversion source. Timezone, currency, and language are not set here — they are personal display preferences under Settings → Personal → Appearance.
Where do I set timezone, currency, or language?
Those are personal display preferences, not workspace defaults. Each user sets their own theme, language, currency, timezone, and date format under Settings → Personal → Appearance (see team-118). Workspace Defaults instead controls the team's dashboard preset, hub layout, member policy flags, and conversion source.
What do the member policy flags do?
The policy flags (allow_user_hide, allow_user_reorder, allow_user_pin, allow_user_templates) decide how much each member can personalize their own home. Turn them off to enforce a consistent home layout across the team; turn them on to let members hide, reorder, pin sections, or use custom templates.
Do Workspace Defaults override a member's personalized home?
Only within the policy flags. If a policy flag allows a personalization (e.g. reordering), a member's own layout wins for what they see. If you turn a flag off, the workspace default is enforced for that aspect.
