Only the selected users in Kahootz can create workspaces. If you don't have the New Workspace link under "My Workspaces" please contact your site owner as they'll be able to provide those permissions. Your site owner can be contacted through Account > Private Messages > New private message, and picking to: Site owner.
There are 2 ways of creating a workspace for site owners and 1 way for general users, only if you've been given the permissions to do so.
Site Owners
Click "Account > Site Admin" and then from the left-hand side menu, select "New Workspace" at the bottom.
This will then display the workspace creation wizard which you'll need to enter the basic details such as name, description, template along with permissions.
- The Templates section is where you'll find pre-designed templates, each for different purposes.
- These can get you off to a quick start by automatically giving you particular sets of teams and content.
However, If you want to design your own workspace, then you can pick "None - create an empty workspace" which often is the most common route.
Once you've done that, click "create" and you have your workspace.
Users with permissions - site owners can also do it this way
Click "My Workspaces" from the top left drop-down menu and select "New Workspace" from the bottom.

Users without permissions
They will click "My Workspaces" from the top left drop-down menu but the option to select "New Workspace" will not be available to them.
Kahootz Tips: If you require the permissions in order to create workspaces then only the site owner can provide that to you.> Please contact your site owner through Account > Private Messages > New private message, and picking to: Site owner.
How the Site Owner provides permissions
Click "Account > Site Admin" and then from the list, select Users.
Find the user, click "edit" next to their name and put a tick in the checkbox for "Create Workspaces" and click save.
The user will now need to log out and back into Kahootz for the changes to take effect, once they've done that follow the steps above.
Kahootz Tips: If you think your workspace layout would be useful in other areas within your site, ask your site owner to create a new template from it.
