# Creating and managing workspaces

A Tonic Structural workspace provides a context within which to configure and generate transformed data.

A workspace represents a path between the source data and the transformed output data. For example, `postgres-prod-copy` to `postgres-staging`.

A workspace includes:

* Where to find the source data to transform during data generation
* Where to write the transformed data
* The rules for the transformation
