What is the difference between a Group and a Workspace?

Workspace is a great way to manage content at scale.  A team can organize content into shared folders and collaborate on the same kahoots. Workspace members have to have a license of the same subscription assigned to their accounts.

To gain access to a shared workspace where you can collaborate, you need to purchase a plan with multiple licenses and invite other team members. Alternatively, you can be invited to someone else's shared workspace as a member.

Groups are perfect for users who want to maintain autonomy but also want to share a curated list of kahoots with just a few people. Group members don't have to be part of your team.

Feature

Workspace

Groups

User Access

The owner is responsible financially for the members’ subscriptions. 

The owner and admins can invite and remove members.

Admin does not have to be responsible financially for the member's subscription. 

Admin can invite and remove members from a group.

Kahoot games

All kahoots in the Workspace are managed by the Workspace.

Each group member has autonomy over their own kahoots.

Editing a Kahoot

Owner, admins, and kahoot creator can lock kahoots to prevent editing by other members. Otherwise, all members can edit kahoots in a Workspace.

Members must duplicate and then edit kahoot in private Workspace.

Kahoot Libraries

Members in a Workspace create one centralized library of content.

Members build curated banks of content that are targeted to specific use cases and individuals on a per-group basis.

Library Access

Every member can access all content in a shared Workspace.

Users that are not members of a group can view the group's content only if the group is located in a shared workspace that the user is a member of.

Folders

Kahoots can be organized in folders.

No folder functionality.

Reporting

Members share game reports, so learning progress is tracked across the team.

Member game report access is not shared.
