Find teams in People

Use People to browse teams and understand who belongs to each group.

4 min read

Teams show how people are grouped inside the workspace

Use Teams inside People when you need to understand which members belong together. Teams help with lookup and coordination, especially when you know the team name but not the exact person who should review, approve, or answer something.

Teams is useful for discovery. Team setup and team administration belong in Manage teams when your role allows those changes.

Where to find Teams

Open Home → People → Teams.

Use Members if you know the person. Use Teams if you know the group. Use Org chart if you need a visual structure instead of a list.

What Teams is good for

Need	Use Teams to
Find a group	Search or browse team names.
Understand membership	Open a team to see who belongs to it.
Coordinate review	Find the right team before assigning or mentioning people.
Check ownership	Identify which group likely owns a project, canvas, or decision.
Reduce noisy mentions	Mention or contact the right people instead of guessing across the workspace.

Browse teams

Open Home → People → Teams.
Confirm the workspace is correct.
Search or browse for the team name.
Open the team to view its members and visible team details.
Use member cards or names to find the person you need.
If the team needs to be created, renamed, merged, or removed, use Manage teams or ask an admin.

Team detail

Team detail may show the team name, description, member count, and member list where available. Use it to understand who belongs to a group before assigning work, requesting review, or checking ownership.

Team detail is not the place for administrative work. To change team setup, go to Manage teams. To change a person's role or access, go to Manage workspace members.

Examples

Situation	How Teams helps
You need a design reviewer	Open Teams, find the design team, then choose the right member.
A project mentions a group name	Search Teams to understand who belongs to that group.
You inherited work from another team	Use Teams and Members to find the likely owner before making changes.
A canvas comment needs a specific reviewer	Confirm the team first, then mention the right person in the canvas.
You are cleaning up workspace structure	Use Teams for discovery, then Manage teams for admin changes.

Team management and permissions

Depending on your workspace role, you may see team create, edit, or delete actions. If those controls are hidden, your role does not allow team management. That is expected for many members.

Teams affect how people understand ownership and coordination. Before removing a team or moving members, confirm whether active projects, canvas reviews, or org chart expectations depend on that structure.

Support questions and recovery

Problem	What to do
A team is missing	Confirm the workspace, clear search, and ask an admin whether the team exists.
A member is missing from a team	Check Members to confirm the person is in the workspace, then ask an admin to review team membership.
Team actions are hidden	Use Manage teams or ask an admin.
The team list loads slowly	Large workspaces may load people data progressively. Search again after the list finishes loading.
You need to mention a team in a canvas	Confirm the right people first, then use Canvas comments and mentions according to the mention behavior available in your workspace.

Support questions

Question	Answer
Are Teams the same as permissions?	Not always. Team membership helps organization and lookup, while roles and item sharing control access.
Can every member edit teams?	No. Team management can require admin permission.
Why is a person in Members but not in the expected team?	The person may be in the workspace but not assigned to that team. Ask an admin to review team membership.
Should I assign work to a team or a person?	Use the team to find the right owner, then assign or mention the specific person when the work needs accountability.
