# How Voholabs Studio works

> Studio organises your work into a workspace that holds channels, the accounts you publish to, and posts, which go out on a schedule. This page explains each term you meet in the app and the API.

You do not need to learn these words to use Studio, but they help when you read the rest of the docs, use the [API](https://voholabs.com/docs/api) or ask an [AI agent](https://voholabs.com/docs/agents) to do something for you.

## What is a workspace?

A workspace is the account everything else lives in: your channels, posts, media library, settings, API key and, on the free plan, the wallet. You create one when you sign up, and you can invite colleagues to it. See [Team members and roles](https://voholabs.com/docs/workspace/teams).

## What is a channel?

A channel is one account Studio publishes to, such as an X profile, a LinkedIn Page, a Discord server or a Sanity project. You connect it once, and it then appears in the left-hand list of the calendar. See the [channels overview](https://voholabs.com/docs/channels).

## What is a customer?

A customer is an optional label for a group of channels. Agencies use it to keep one client's channels apart from another's. To assign a channel, choose **Move / add to group** in the channel's menu, then pick or type a name under **Select Customer**.

Once you have more than one customer, a **Select Customer** filter appears in the calendar and the composer, so you only see that customer's channels. The API calls customers groups.

## What is the difference between a draft and a scheduled post?

A draft is saved but never publishes on its own. A scheduled post is on the calendar with a date and time, and Studio publishes it then. You can move a post between the two at any time before it goes out. See [Schedule and publish posts](https://voholabs.com/docs/posts/scheduling).

## What is a post group?

When you write one post for several channels, Studio saves a separate post for each channel. Each one carries a group ID that ties its parts together, such as the replies of an X thread or the comments under a LinkedIn post. Editing, moving and deleting act on one channel's post and all its parts. The API uses the group ID, for example to delete a post with everything in it.

## What is a time slot?

A time slot is a time of day you like to post on a channel. Every channel starts with a few, and you can change them with **Edit Time Slots** in the channel's menu. When you choose **Create Post**, Studio suggests the next free slot as the date. Agents can ask for the next free slot too. See [What are time slots?](https://voholabs.com/docs/posts/scheduling#what-are-time-slots)

## What are sets and signatures?

A set is a saved starting point for new posts: the channels, the text and the settings. A signature is a reusable sign-off, such as your name and a link, that you insert into posts. One signature can be added to new posts automatically. See [Sets and signatures](https://voholabs.com/docs/posts/sets-and-signatures).

## What is a preview link?

Every post has a page at `studio.voholabs.com/p/<post id>` that shows the post to anyone, without signing in. You can send it to a client or colleague, and anyone signed in to Studio can comment on it. See [Review and share posts](https://voholabs.com/docs/posts/approvals).

## What is a post reference?

A post reference is `(post:<id>)` in the text of a post. When the post publishes, Studio replaces it with the live address of the post it points to. This lets you schedule "read the full thread on X" before the X thread exists. See [Create a post](https://voholabs.com/docs/posts/create#how-do-i-link-to-another-post-that-has-not-gone-out-yet).

## Frequently asked questions

### Is a workspace the same as an organisation or a team?

Yes. The app, the API and the MCP tools use workspace, organisation and team for the same thing. Its channels, posts, media, API key and wallet are shared by all its members.

### Can I belong to more than one workspace?

Yes. If you are a member of several, a Select Organization menu appears at the top of the app so you can switch between them.

### Does a post to three channels count as one post or three?

Three. Studio saves one post per channel, so you can edit, move, review or delete each channel's version on its own.
