Leave a ClickUp Workspace

If you no longer need access to a Workspace in ClickUp, you can safely leave it in a few quick steps. This guide explains how to leave, what happens to your data, and what Workspace owners and admins should check before anyone departs.

What it means to leave a ClickUp Workspace

Leaving a Workspace in ClickUp only affects your access to that specific Workspace. It does not delete your personal account or remove you from any other Workspaces you belong to.

When you leave, you will no longer:

• See the Workspace in your ClickUp Workspace switcher
• Access tasks, Docs, Dashboards, or views in that Workspace
• Receive notifications, reminders, or comments from that Workspace

Your past work is not removed. Tasks, comments, and other items you created remain visible to other members, and your name stays associated with that content for history and reporting.

Requirements to leave a ClickUp Workspace

Most users can leave a Workspace in ClickUp at any time. However, owners and admins may have a few extra things to verify before they go.

Who can leave a ClickUp Workspace

All user types in ClickUp can leave a Workspace, including:

• Workspace owners
• Admins
• Members
• Guests (when applicable)

If you are the only owner of a Workspace, you may need to transfer ownership before leaving, depending on the current configuration and business needs.

Check your role and responsibilities

Before leaving a Workspace in ClickUp, review your role and any critical responsibilities you hold. This helps avoid interruptions for your team.

Consider:

• Are you the only Workspace owner or admin?
• Do you manage billing or integrations?
• Are you responsible for important Spaces or Folders?
• Do automations or recurring tasks depend on you as the assignee?

If the answer to any of these is yes, coordinate with another owner or admin before you leave.

How to leave a Workspace in ClickUp

The steps to leave a Workspace are straightforward. Follow this process from any browser where you are signed into your ClickUp account.

Step 1: Open your ClickUp settings

1. Sign in to your ClickUp account.
2. Make sure you are currently in the Workspace you want to leave by checking the Workspace switcher at the top of the interface.
3. Click your avatar or profile image to open the user menu.
4. Select the settings option from the menu.

The settings page controls preferences and account-level options for your ClickUp profile.

Step 2: Find the Workspace access area

Inside your ClickUp settings, locate the section that lists the Workspaces you belong to. This area may appear as a list or panel showing each Workspace name and your role.

From here, you can confirm you are viewing the correct Workspace before you continue.

Step 3: Leave the ClickUp Workspace

1. Identify the Workspace you want to leave in the list.
2. Click the option or link labeled to leave or remove yourself from that Workspace.
3. Review any confirmation message explaining what will happen.
4. Confirm that you want to leave the Workspace.

Once confirmed, ClickUp removes you from that Workspace and returns you to another Workspace or your main login screen, depending on your remaining access.

What happens after you leave ClickUp Workspace access

Leaving a Workspace affects your access but does not erase the history tied to your contributions. This design helps teams keep accurate records in ClickUp.

Your tasks, comments, and Docs

When you leave a Workspace in ClickUp:

• Tasks you created remain in place.
• Comments you added stay visible on tasks and Docs.
• Docs you created or edited continue to exist.
• Your name is preserved in activity logs and histories.

Other users in that Workspace still see your former work, but they cannot @mention you or assign new items to you there.

Notifications and permissions in ClickUp

After you leave a Workspace in ClickUp:

• You stop receiving notifications from that Workspace.
• You cannot open shared links that require membership in that Workspace.
• Any previous permissions tied to that Workspace are revoked.

If you belong to other Workspaces in ClickUp, those are unaffected and continue to function normally.

Best practices before leaving a ClickUp Workspace

To ensure a smooth transition for you and your team, follow these best practices before you remove your access to a Workspace in ClickUp.

Reassign your tasks and ownership

Before you leave, review important items assigned to you:

• Reassign active tasks to the correct owner.
• Update watchers on key tasks and Docs.
• Transfer ownership of critical views or Dashboards where needed.

Cleaning up these assignments helps maintain continuity for projects managed in ClickUp.

Coordinate with Workspace admins

Let Workspace admins or owners know you are about to leave the Workspace in ClickUp, especially if:

• You manage billing or subscription details.
• You are the point of contact for integrations or API keys.
• You own automation setups that use your user account.

They may want to review billing, update access rights, or change automation owners before you go.

Export information if needed

If you are allowed to do so under your organization’s policies, export or document any information you need before leaving the Workspace in ClickUp.

Examples include:

• Reports or dashboards you built
• Lists of tasks assigned to your team
• Key Docs or process notes

Always follow company and data security guidelines when exporting or copying information.

Troubleshooting leaving a ClickUp Workspace

Sometimes you may be unable to leave a Workspace in ClickUp because of your role or account settings.

When you cannot leave a ClickUp Workspace

Issues typically arise when you are the only owner or when billing is tied to your account. In such cases:

• Contact another admin or owner and request they review the ownership structure.
• Make sure at least one active owner remains before you leave.
• Confirm that billing responsibilities have been transferred if required.

If problems persist, check your organization’s internal policies or support channels for assistance.
