# Create a workspace in Postman

When you first sign in to Postman, an [internal workspace](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/overview/) is automatically created for you. You can create a blank workspace or populate your new workspace with the files from your local Git repository. If you consent to Postman's Terms of Service, you can use AI to create your API content.

## Create a new workspace

You can start a new Postman workspace in the following ways:

* Click **Workspaces** in the header, then click **Create**.

* Click **Create Workspace** in the [Workspaces dashboard](https://app.getpostman.com/dashboard).

Then, follow these steps to configure a workspace:

1. Enter a **Name** for your workspace.

2. If you're on an [Enterprise plan](https://www.postman.com/pricing/) and [Postman Organizations](/docs/administration/enterprise/organizations) is enabled, an additional **Teams** field is available. This lets you choose which team the workspace is created in. The default is your current team context.

3. Select an **Internal**, **Partner**, or **Public** workspace type. Learn more about [workspace types](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/overview/#workspace-types).

   * ([Enterprise plans only](https://www.postman.com/pricing/)) If your [organization restricts creation of internal workspaces with team access](/docs/administration/managing-your-team/manage-team-workspaces/), users who don't have permission can raise a request to create an internal workspace with team access, which goes for approval to [users who have access to approve such requests](/docs/administration/roles-and-permissions/#team-roles).
   * If you choose to create a public workspace and you don't have an admin role, you'll be prompted to request access.

4. Select **Blank workspace** to create an empty workspace, or **From a Git repository** to sync and version control your existing local files. You can also use natural language prompts to create and populate your workspace using Postman AI. For example, you can ask it to create an API based on an existing public collection. Learn more about Postman's [Agent Mode](/docs/use/agent-mode/overview/).

   Linking a Git repository is only supported for Internal workspaces. When **From a Git repository** is selected, the Partner and Public workspace types are unavailable.

5. Select who has access to your workspace: everyone in your team (or organization, if you're on the Enterprise plan), or only you and the people you invite.

6. Click **Create Workspace**.

You can add new elements and invite other people to your workspace.

After you create a workspace, you can use the workspace to collaborate with your team.

* To learn more about what you and your team can do with workspaces, see [Use Postman workspaces](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/internal-workspaces/use-workspaces/) and [Manage Postman workspaces](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/internal-workspaces/manage-workspaces/). You can also learn more about [public](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/public-workspaces/) and [Partner Workspaces](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/partner-workspaces/overview/).
* You can also use your workspace [activity feed](/docs/collaborating-in-postman/using-workspaces/internal-workspaces/use-workspaces/#view-workspace-activity) to keep up to date with progress on the projects within it.
