Assembla FAQ and Documentation

Assembla now allows you to copy existing workspaces and create full, new copies from which to work. Here are some great ways to use the copy workspace feature:

• Copy our preconfigured spaces with all code, language and tools prepared for your team's convenience
• Create a template workspace for new consulting projects. When onboarding a new client, copy the template workspace, customize, then invite the client
