Workspace captures let you maintain a single library of capture collections that can be reused across multiple demos. Instead of recreating the same screens in each demo, you promote a collection to the workspace level once and link it wherever you need it.

## The workspace captures page

Navigate to **Workspace Captures** in the main sidebar to see all capture collections that have been promoted to the workspace level. From here you can:

* Browse and search your shared capture library
* Add new captures to an existing workspace collection
* Promote project-scoped collections to the workspace
* See which demos each collection is linked to

## Collection types

Capture collections exist at two scopes, indicated by icons in the captures list:

| Icon                          | Type                         | Scope                        |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| <Icon icon="globe" /> Globe   | Workspace capture collection | Shared across multiple demos |
| <Icon icon="folder" /> Folder | Project capture collection   | Scoped to a single demo      |

A workspace capture collection (globe icon) can be linked to any number of demos. A project capture collection (folder icon) belongs to one demo only.

## Promoting a collection to the workspace

Promoting a collection moves it from a single demo to your shared workspace library, where it can be linked to other demos.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the demo's Captures tab">
    Navigate to the demo that contains the collection you want to share. Open the **Captures** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the collection menu">
    Find the collection and click the three-dot menu next to it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Promote to workspace">
    Choose **Promote to workspace** from the menu. The collection is moved to the workspace library and its icon changes from a folder to a globe.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  After promoting, the collection remains linked to the original demo. Any edits to the collection will now affect all demos it is linked to.
</Note>

## Linking a workspace collection to a demo

Once a collection is in the workspace library, you can add it to any demo from that demo's Captures tab.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the demo's Captures tab">
    Navigate to the demo you want to add the collection to and open the **Captures** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a workspace collection">
    Click **Add collection** and choose **Add from workspace**. Select the workspace collection you want to link.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Unlinking a collection from a demo

Unlinking removes the shared collection from a specific demo and replaces it with a local copy. The workspace collection itself is not affected, and other demos that use it are unchanged.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the collection menu">
    In the demo's Captures tab, click the three-dot menu on the workspace collection (globe icon) you want to unlink.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Unlink">
    Choose **Unlink** from the menu. A local copy of the collection is created for this demo, and the demo is no longer connected to the workspace version.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  After unlinking, changes to the workspace collection no longer apply to this demo. If you want to keep the demo in sync with updates, link it back to the workspace collection instead of unlinking.
</Warning>

## Editing a shared capture

When you open a capture that belongs to a workspace collection, a banner appears at the top of the editor:

> **Edits to this capture will affect \[N] demos across your workspace.**

The banner shows how many demos are currently using the collection. You can dismiss it by clicking **Dismiss**.

This warning is a reminder that any change you save—editing a tooltip, removing a step, updating a highlight—will appear in every demo linked to that workspace collection. If you only want to change one demo, [unlink the collection](#unlinking-a-collection-from-a-demo) first to create a local copy.
