Understanding Workspaces and Folders
Workspaces: Your Team's Central Hub
A workspace in Agrello serves as the central location for your team's collaborative efforts. It brings together shared folders, contracts, document templates, and team members under one roof. Key benefits of workspaces include:
Creating a contract hub for your entire company with a single subscription
Allowing invited members to create and edit content without separate subscriptions
Providing a centralized location for all contract-related activities
Folders: Organized Document Management
Within a workspace, folders help you organize and share specific sets of documents and templates with the right team members. This ensures secure and efficient document management. Folders offer features such as:
Kanban-like progress overview for tracking document statuses.
Access control features to share documents with right people.
Agrello Codriver - an AI assistant that helps you to track contract expiry dates, parties and more.
