title: Workspace General
description: Rename a workspace, update its description, and understand its delete boundary.
---

Workspace General controls the shared identity of a Runner workspace. Use it when the team name or description changes, or when you need to review the workspace danger zone.

## What this covers

You will be able to update workspace details and recognize when a change has saved successfully.

## Availability and prerequisites

- A workspace admin or owner is required to change the shared Name or Description.
- Only the workspace Owner can complete workspace deletion.
- Runner does not allow the last remaining workspace to be deleted.

## Entry path

From the workspace **Stores** page, select **avatar → Settings → Workspace → General**.

## Controls

| Entry or button | Why it is useful | What happens next |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Name** | Set the full workspace name visible to other members. | A valid change saves automatically after editing. |
| **Description** | Explain what the workspace or team is for. | A valid change saves automatically. |
| **Delete Workspace** | Remove a workspace you no longer need. | A name-confirmation popover opens. The button is disabled for the last workspace. |

## Update workspace details

1. Open **Settings → Workspace → General**.
2. Edit **Name** or **Description**.
3. Leave the field and watch the status.
4. Wait for **Saved** before closing Settings or switching workspace.
5. Reopen the page if you need to verify the persisted value.

## States and limits

- Name cannot be empty and must stay within the displayed validation limits.
- Description accepts a short workspace summary and has a displayed character limit.
- **Saving…** means the change is still in progress.
- **Saved** confirms the current value was accepted.
- A save error restores or retains the previous saved value.
- **Delete Workspace** is disabled when this is your last workspace.

## Delete boundary

Selecting **Delete Workspace** does not delete immediately. Runner asks an Owner to type the exact workspace name, then enables the destructive **Delete** button. The deletion cannot be restored from this screen and removes the workspace's data and settings.

## Troubleshooting

- If an empty Name returns to its earlier value, enter a valid non-empty name.
- If **Saved** never appears, keep the dialog open, check the error, and retry.
- If Delete Workspace is disabled, this is likely the last workspace or the workspace has not loaded.
- If you opened the wrong workspace's settings, close the dialog and reopen it from the intended workspace.
