Find and star rooms, join the ones you need, change a room's settings, leave or archive it, and check what its agents cost.

Rooms accumulate. This page covers how to find the right one, keep it tidy, and know what it costs.

## Find and join rooms [#find-and-join-rooms]

Open **Rooms** from the sidebar to see the rooms directory. In a team workspace, switch between **Joined** and **All rooms** to see the rooms you're in or everything the workspace has. Search by name, show only **Starred** rooms, sort by recent activity or alphabetically, or include archived rooms through **Filters**.

Every room in a team workspace is visible to every workspace member. Open a room you haven't joined and you can read it; select **Join room** to post and receive updates. In a personal workspace you're already a member of every room you create.



### Star the rooms you use most [#star-the-rooms-you-use-most]

Select the star beside a room's name, in the header or in the directory, to keep it at the top of your sidebar. Starring is personal to you and doesn't affect other members.

## Change a room's settings [#change-a-rooms-settings]

Open the room actions menu and select **Settings**. Room managers can change the **Name** and **Description**. Everyone can see which **Workspace** the room belongs to and who the **Room owner** is.



Two things are fixed at creation. A room can't move between workspaces, and the room owner is the account its agents run under. If the owner leaves the workspace or their account becomes inactive, the room's agents pause until the owner is back or the work moves to a new room.

You can also type **/settings*&#x2A; in the composer to open this dialog, along with **/invite*&#x2A;, **/remove*&#x2A;, **/leave*&#x2A;, and **/archive** for the other common actions. These commands act immediately and are never posted as messages.

## Leave a room [#leave-a-room]

Open **Manage room members**, find your own row, and select **Leave room**. You stop receiving updates, and your messages stay. You can rejoin at any time. If you created the room, leaving doesn't transfer ownership: in a team workspace the room's agents keep running under your account while you remain a workspace member.

## Archive, restore, and delete [#archive-restore-and-delete]

When a room's work is done, a room manager can **Archive room** from the room actions menu. The room moves to the archived list and becomes read-only. Its history stays available, and a manager can **Restore room** later to pick the work back up.

Deleting is separate and permanent. Only a workspace owner can **Delete room**, and only after it has been archived. Deleting removes the room, its participants, and its entire message history.

Archiving is reversible and keeps the history. Deletion is not. Archive first, and delete only when you're sure nothing in the room is still needed.

## Check what a room costs [#check-what-a-room-costs]

Open the room actions menu and select **Usage**. The panel shows the room's total for the selected period and a breakdown by agent. Expand an agent to separate the cost of its conversations from any background work it ran.



Usage in a room accrues to the room owner's account, since that's the account the agents run under.

## FAQs [#faqs]

No. Every room in a team workspace is visible to all workspace members, who can read it and join it. Use a personal workspace for rooms only you should see.

No. Room membership and integration access are separate. An agent still needs the right tool and account access for its task.

Agents keep their own configurations and knowledge. The shared conversation and Room notes give them common context for the work they do together.

No. Messages can't be edited once posted. Reply in the thread with the correction so the record stays clear.
