Experimental

Enable SSO invitations: If your company has set up SSO, this setting will allow you to invite your company users to the Workspace. If you decide to do so:

  1. First make sure you have added the users on the SSO side
  2. With the SSO invitations enabled: send out an invitation to those users
  3. The users will receive an email with link. Opening the link allows them to sign in with their email and access the Workspace. This comes with the added benefit that you, the Admin, can see who has accepted the invite.

💡 FAQ


How does the size of my Workspace impact the users within the Workspace?

Showell ensures that all of your content is accessible offline through the Showell Native Apps on Windows, iOS, and Android devices. Keep in mind that depending on the content in your Showell Workspace, it may take up a significant amount of storage on your users' devices. To manage this, you can utilize the 'Keep on Device' option, which allows you to select which content is downloaded to the device. To learn more about this feature, please refer to the 'Keep on Device' help center article.
