There is no self-service Leave button. You leave a workspace in one of two ways:
  1. Ask an admin to remove you. This ends your membership of that one workspace.
  2. Delete your account. This removes you from every workspace you belong to. See Delete your account.
Your other workspaces are unaffected either way. Switch between the ones you keep at /spaces.

​
Who can remove you

Removing someone needs the member.remove capability. Owners and Admins hold it. See Roles and capabilities. Two rules apply, and the server enforces both:
  • Only an Owner may remove an Owner.
  • The last Owner can never be removed. Ownership has to move first.

​
How an admin removes you

1

Open the person's record

Go to Settings → Team Members and click the person.
2

Scroll to Remove from workspace

It sits at the foot of the Profile section.
3

Click Remove

The button reads Remove followed by the person’s name.
4

Confirm

A dialog states that they lose access immediately, that their logged time, rates and history are kept, and that it cannot be undone. Confirm to finish.
Nobody can remove themselves from this screen. The control does not appear on your own record.

​
If you are the Owner

An Owner has to hand the workspace over before they can leave or be removed. A workspace is never left without an owner.
1

Pick the new owner

Open Settings → Team Members and click the person who will take over.
2

Open Access

Find the Transfer ownership card. It only shows for an Owner.
3

Confirm by typing their name

Click Transfer ownership. The dialog shows the person’s name as a ready-to-copy string with a copy button. Paste or type it to unlock the confirm button.
After the transfer you become an Admin. You keep your membership, your tracked time and your history. You lose the two owner-only powers: deleting the workspace, and granting ownership.
You cannot reverse a transfer yourself. Only the new owner can hand it back.
Some people cannot receive a workspace, and the dialog says which:

​
What happens the moment you leave

Access ends straight away. There is no notice period and no read-only window.

​
What stays with the workspace

Your work belongs to the business, not to your membership. All of this stays exactly where it is:
  • Every time entry you tracked
  • Your timesheets, including submitted and approved weeks
  • Approvals you gave, and expenses, invoices and payments you touched
  • Tasks, comments and the audit trail
Historical records keep resolving to you, so reports do not develop a hole.

​
What is cleaned up

Decisions you already made are not rewritten. A timesheet you approved still records that you approved it.
Anything assigned to you is not reassigned automatically. Ask an admin to hand your open tasks to someone else before you go.

​
A gentler option: switch access off

Removing is permanent. If you are going away for a while, an admin can switch your access off instead. Deactivating is a switch on your member record with an Undo. Your time, rates and history are untouched, and turning it back on restores you exactly as you were. Removing does not work that way.

​
Coming back

You need a new invitation. Nothing is restored automatically:
  • Your old role is not restored. The invitation sets your new one.
  • Your groups and your manager are not restored.
  • Your old tracked time is still in the workspace’s records.
An open invitation was revoked when you left, so an old link in your inbox no longer works. Ask an admin to send a fresh one.

​
What it does to seats

Seats count everyone with access: every active membership of every role, plus every outstanding invitation. Client-portal contacts count too.
  • On a paid plan the seat quantity syncs down by one, and applies at the next renewal.
  • On Free, the cap is 3 people. Being over the cap is never punished, but a workspace at or above 3 cannot add anyone. Once you leave and the count drops below 3, they can add someone again.
See Seats and billing.

​
Example

Ana Ferreira is a Contractor at Northwind Studio. Her engagement ends. Tom Whitfield, an Admin, opens Settings → Team Members, clicks Ana, and clicks Remove Ana Ferreira. He confirms. Ana’s 62 tracked hours stay on the Bluebird Coffee projects, and her approved timesheets stay approved. She had a timer running, and it is discarded. A submitted week that was routed to her for approval is freed up for Priya Raman. Ana loses access at once, and her other workspace is untouched. Two months later Northwind hires her again. Tom sends a fresh invitation. She joins as a Contractor once more, and her old hours are still on the projects where she logged them.

​
Common questions

Not for a single workspace. The only self-service exit is deleting your account, which removes you from all of them.
No. Time, timesheets, approvals and invoices are the business’s records and stay with the workspace.
Transfer ownership to someone else first. The last Owner cannot be removed, and cannot delete their account while other people are still working in the workspace.
A workspace whose other members are all client contacts, deactivated, or have never signed in has nobody eligible. Make someone an owner-capable member there first.
Not directly. An admin has to invite you again, and your role, groups and manager are set fresh.
No. Each workspace is separate. Your login and your other memberships carry on.
