# Workspace type

The Workspace type is used together with the [Workspace name](/administration/workspace-administration/workspace-name.md) to identify the workspace throughout Hippoly. It also determines certain content and settings within the workspace, such as which Agenda templates are available and how they are structured. Choosing the correct Workspace type ensures that your team gets the right tools and templates tailored to its needs.
