How to add a new workspace in the latest version?

1

I have done everything and checked workspace manager in roles but still the add a new workspace button did not appear how to solve this?

2

Go to the Home page (you can search Home in the search bar or navigate to /desk/home). In the top-left corner, click the three-dot menu, where you’ll find the option to create a new Workspace.

I ran into the same head scratcher and thought the option had vanished into thin air. Once you pop open that three-dot menu on the Home page, it shows up again, but the button is pretty easy to overlook. If it still refuses to appear, a hard refresh or clearing cached workspace data has helped me a couple of times.

the generic “+ New” button is not shown in the Workspace List View by design. This is not a bug it’s the intended behavior in Frappe v16.

To create a new Workspace, you can use either of the following methods:

  1. Click the Edit (pencil) icon in the left sidebar, then click the “+” button to add a new Workspace.

  2. Open the direct URL: dev.localhost:8000/app/workspace/new

I have tested both methods, and they are working correctly. There are no permission or installation issues.

In v16 the workspace controls moved into the redesigned sidebar, which now splits into two sections: My Workspaces (private to you) and Public (shared). Use the create control in the sidebar to add one — it lands under My Workspaces as private by default. Then click the Edit button to enter Edit mode, add your cards/shortcuts/charts/links, and save.

To publish it as a shared Public workspace, your role has to permit it — creating and editing Public workspaces is role-gated, which is the usual reason people think the “New Workspace” button is missing (it’s a permission boundary, not a removed feature). One more gotcha: on managed Frappe Cloud, editing the standard sidebars is more restricted than on a self-hosted instance.
