Accessing workspaces

Just go to http://my.pbworks.com and create a PBworks Account. Once you've created and verified your account, simply click on the "Email" tab and add any other email addresses you might have PBworks access with. One-stop sign-in is great!

Join a workspace

If you need to add a workspace to your account, it either belongs to someone else, or you've created it using a different PBworks Account.

 

If it belongs to someone else, ask to be invited as a "User" by the owner of the workspace. They must invite you by going into their "Settings" and then the "Users" page and entering the email address that you have used for your PBworks Account.

 

If you created the workspace using a different PBworks Account, go to http://my.pbworks.com, log out, then log into the account that owns the workspace. Once there, you'll have to "invite" yourself using the email address of the account that you need to add your workspace to.

Leaving workspaces

Just log into your PBworks Account at http://my.pbworks.com and click on the "Leave this workspace" icon on the main page. This removes all access to the workspace - the workspace owner will need to invite you again if you'd like access in the future.

Leaving workpaces - Troubleshooting

You can only leave workspaces that you do not own.  If you are associated with the workspace as its owner, you'll need to either transfer workspace ownership over to another user (see below) or delete the workspace.

Transfer workspace ownership

 

Transferring workspace ownership (You are the owner)

We can transfer workspace ownership to any e-mail address that you specify, all we need from you is the following information:

1. The name of the workspace for which you want to transfer ownership.
2. The e-mail address of the new workspace owner. 
3. You will need to provide us with confirmation that you are, in fact, the workspace owner by writing to us from the email address that you used to create your workspace. We will not be able to honor transfer ownership requests that do not come from the original workspace owner.

 

We will notify you after successfully transferring ownership of the workspace.  After the transfer, you will still be a workspace administrator.  If you no longer wish to participate in the transferred workspace, please log into your PBworks Account at http://my.pbworks.com, go to your "Home" tab, then click the "Leave this workspace" link to the right of the transferred workspace.

Transferring workspace ownership (You are not the owner)

PBworks takes your data privacy seriously, and we can only complete a transfer of ownership to another workspace user when the original owner has given us their express permission to do so. Please have the original workspace owner contact support with the name of their workspace and the email address of the person to which we should change ownership. PBworks will not transfer workspace ownership unless we hear from the original workspace owner.
