## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need Pro for the workspace?

Not for the basics. Free: Notebook list, search, collections, tags and pins. Pro: Bulk tag management, multiple accounts and the Pro tools hosted there.

### Does the workspace change my notebooks?

Not unless you run an action such as import, delete or generate. Browsing and tagging do not modify notebook content.
