What it does
Creately Workspace is a shared visual canvas for diagramming, whiteboarding, and planning, with notes and decisions kept beside the work. The product page lists real-time collaboration, comments, version history, and more than 70 diagram types. Free includes team link sharing and live collaboration, with a 40-shape limit per diagram; export and private-link options depend on the plan.
Workspace is Creately’s general-purpose visual canvas, distinct from the vendor’s specialist products for process documentation, organizational planning, and other connected views. A team mapping a service handoff could move between a flowchart, a whiteboard exercise, and notes without splitting the discussion across separate files. The product page lists flowcharts, mind maps, org charts, ERDs, UML, BPMN, and wireframes, and describes live cursors and comments on the same canvas.
The Free plan permits real-time collaboration and team link sharing, but caps a diagram at 40 shapes and does not include the export options listed for Pro. Pro adds unlimited shapes and diagrams, exports to PDF, SVG, PNG, and JPEG, plus private links and email invitations. That distinction matters if the deliverable needs to leave the shared workspace as a reusable file.
