Bringing a product to life is rarely a solo mission. It’s a team sport, and getting everyone on the same page is crucial. So, can you invite your collaborators into your Genpire workspace? Absolutely. Getting your team access allows everyone to work from the same source of truth, from the first sketch to the final tech pack.
Who Needs Access and Why
Think about the key players helping you turn your vision into a reality. Each one interacts with your project in a different way, and giving them direct access to your Genpire dashboard can shave off countless hours of back-and-forth communication.
Your co-founder, for instance, probably needs a bird's-eye view of everything. They'll want to track the progress of different tech packs, keep an eye on credit usage for generations, and see the big picture as you move toward production. Giving them access means they can jump in and see the status of a project without having to ask for a separate update.
Then you have your designer. They're the ones who are really hands-on with the creative details. They can directly upload reference images, sketches, and asset libraries—like logos or specific fabric samples—right into the Idea Upload screen. When Genpire generates the tech pack, your designer can be the first one to review it, manage revisions, and ensure every technical specification is spot-on. It keeps the creative engine running smoothly.
Finally, you might be working with a sourcing partner or a manufacturing consultant. Their world revolves around the finished tech pack and the "Request Quote" flow. By inviting them to your workspace, you empower them to dig into the finalized tech packs, initiate the RFQ process with manufacturers, and manage the communication without needing you to act as a middleman. It just makes the whole process of getting quotes and placing orders that much more efficient.
How to Manage Your Workspace
Getting your team set up is usually handled right from your account settings. While every founder's dashboard is their own, the controls for managing who can come and go typically live in a central spot.
Pop over to your main account or billing section—this is the hub for all things administrative. Look for settings labeled something like "Workspace," "Team Management," or "Users." This is where you'll likely find the options to invite new members. You can usually add a collaborator by simply entering their email address, which sends them an invitation to join your workspace. Once they're in, they can see the project dashboard and contribute based on the permissions you've set. It’s designed to be straightforward, getting your team into the creative flow with as little friction as possible.
Related questions
Can I control what my team members can see or do?
Yes, most collaborative platforms allow for role-based permissions. When you check your account's team management settings, you'll likely see options to assign roles like 'Admin,' 'Editor,' or 'Viewer.' This helps ensure that a designer can edit tech packs, for example, while a consultant might only have access to view and request quotes.
Does adding a team member use more credits?
Nope, your credits are tied to actions, not people. The credits in your account are for generating tech packs from your ideas. Your entire workspace shares this credit pool, so any generation initiated by a team member will simply draw from the same balance.
How do I remove someone from my workspace?
If a team member's role on the project is finished, you can typically remove them from the same place you invited them. Head back to your account settings and find the list of current users in your workspace. You should see an option next to their name to manage their access or remove them entirely.
