Management

Public Preview | Workbench | Advanced

Workbench within Posit Team is designed to be hands off and includes a robust management page for all day 2 operations that an administrator may want to perform.

Stop and Start Workbench

You can stop or start Workbench at any time. This will suspend the service and compute pool, which will allow for cost savings.

Upgrade Workbench

Note

While we frequently upgrade the landing page, we are currently leaving the ability for customers to control product upgrades and when they occur. In the future, we will be moving toward more automated forced upgrades.

You will see a blue section telling you to upgrade and what has changed. Click the Upgrade button to upgrade Workbench.

Change Configuration

In the management page you can change the license or compute pool sizing. Click Save Changes once you have made changes and refresh the page. If the compute pool or license have changed, an upgrade is required. Follow the upgrade section instructions.
