## Accept the newest invitation

1. Open the newest invite email or secure link sent by a workspace admin.
2. Confirm the workspace name and the email address being invited.
3. Sign in with the invited account or create the account when prompted.
4. Complete any required profile or onboarding steps.
5. Open [Team icon] Team to confirm that the expected workspace and role are visible.

## When the invitation is no longer valid

Ask the workspace admin to confirm that the invite is still pending. A revoked, accepted, replaced, or expired link should not be retried repeatedly. Use the newly issued link instead.

## Avoid joining with the wrong account

If the browser is already signed in with another email, sign out before accepting the invite. The invited email and the signed-in account should match unless the workspace admin changes the invitation.

## What the role changes

The invitation assigns Admin, User, or Light user access. Admin can manage the workspace, team, and billing. User handles the normal request workflow. Light user focuses on following, commenting, reviewing, and sharing context. Ask the inviter to correct the role if it does not match your responsibilities.

## What happens after activation

A new customer account continues into the setup appropriate for its role. Existing users return to the workspace after acceptance. Confirm the organization in the header or Team page before adding files or comments, especially if you belong to more than one workspace.

## FAQ

### The invite opened the wrong workspace. What should I do?

Sign out, confirm the invited email and workspace name, then use the newest invite link. Ask the workspace admin to revoke the incorrect invitation if needed.

### What if the role shown after acceptance is wrong?

Ask a workspace Admin to review the member in Team and change the role. Accepting the invite does not let the recipient grant themselves Admin access.

### Can the same invitation be used by several people?

An invitation is intended for the selected recipient and workspace. Create a separate invitation for each teammate, and revoke a link that was shared with the wrong person.
