When you create a new workspace, you can either:
Create a copy of an existing workspace. The copy initially uses the configuration from the original workspace. After the copy is created, it is completely independent from the original workspace.
Create a child of an existing workspace. Child workspaces inherit configuration from the parent workspace. They continue to be updated automatically when the parent workspace is updated. For more information, go to About workspace inheritance.

Required global permission: Create workspaces
To create a completely new workspace, on Workspaces view, click Create Workspace > New Workspace.

Required license: Enterprise
Required workspace permission: Create child workspaces (in the parent workspace)
You can create a workspace that is a child of an existing workspace. You cannot create a child workspace of another child workspace.
The parent workspace must have a source database configured. You cannot create a child workspace from a workspace that uses the Databricks, Spark (Amazon EMR or self-managed Spark cluster), or MongoDB data connector.
To create a child workspace, either:
On Workspaces view:
Click Create Workspace > Child Workspace.
Click the actions menu for the parent workspace, then select Create Child Workspace.
On the workspace management view, from the workspace actions menu, select Create Child Workspace.
On the New Workspace view, under Child Workspace, Parent Workspace identifies the parent workspace.
If you used the Create Workspace > Child Workspace option to create the child workspace, then Parent Workspace is not populated. From the Parent Workspace dropdown list, select the parent workspace for the new child workspace.
If you selected the child workspace option for a specific workspace, then Parent Workspace is set to that workspace.
If you originally chose to create a completely new workspace, then on the New Workspace view:
To change to a child workspace, select Create Child Workspace from the Create a child workspace panel at the right. Structural adds the Child Workspace panel to the New Workspace view.
From the Parent Workspace dropdown list, select the parent workspace for the new child workspace.
Required workspace permission: Configure workspace settings
To edit the configuration for an existing workspace, either:
On the workspace management view:
On the workspace navigation bar, click Settings.
From the workspace actions menu, select Settings.
On Workspaces view, click the actions menu for the workspace, then select Settings.
Required workspace permission: Delete workspace
You can delete workspaces that you no longer need.
You cannot delete a parent workspace. You must first delete all of its child workspaces.
To delete a workspace:
On the workspace management view, from the workspace actions menu, select Delete Workspace.
On the Workspaces view, click the actions menu for the workspace, then select Delete.
