Workspace settings
Rename a cloud desktop, change its size, set working hours, add sound and file sharing on Linux, move it to a team pool, or delete it.
These are on the workspace's Settings tab (Compute › Workspaces › the workspace › Settings).
Rename it
Under General, change the Name (lowercase letters, numbers and dashes) and select Save.
Change its size
Under Size, pick another plan and select Resize. The disk can grow but not shrink. New CPU and memory apply after a restart; the disk grows right away. On Windows, the licence follows the new vCPU count. Cost after changes shows the new estimate.
Working hours
Under Schedule, turn on working hours, pick the days and the start and stop times, and select Save schedule. Use my timezone switches the schedule to your browser's timezone. The desktop starts when the hours begin and stops when they end. If someone starts it after hours or stops it during them, that isn't overruled.
Sound, microphone and file sharing on Linux
Linux desktops need two small system packages for sound, the microphone and the shared drive (Windows has them built in). Under Sound, microphone and file sharing, turn on Install support on this desktop while it's running. It takes a few minutes; then sign out of the desktop once (its own menu › Log Out) so the next session picks them up.
Team pool
Under Shared pool, enter a pool name to group the desktop with a team, or leave it empty to take it out of its pool.
Delete it
Under Danger zone, type the workspace's name and select Delete workspace. This deletes the desktop and its disk. Billing stops immediately. This can't be undone.
