## 3.11 Managing Existing Workspaces

Instance administrators can manage existing workspaces within an Oracle APEX instance.

- Performing a Workspace Search
  Perform a workspace search by clicking Find a Workspace on the Workspace Tasks page.
- Viewing Existing Workspace Information
  View or edit existing workspace information and behavior including workspace details, support for AI Services, display name, login controls, component availability, session timeout, and component availability.
- Isolating a Workspace to Prevent Browser Attacks
  Workspace administrators can prevent browser attacks by isolating a specific workspace. Workspace-level settings override those configured for an entire instance.
- Deleting a Workspace
  Deleting a workspace does not remove any of the associated database objects. To remove the associated schemas, a database administrator (DBA) must use a standard database administration tool, such as Oracle Enterprise Manager or SQLcl.
- Locking a Workspace
  Instance administrators can lock a workspace to address security or performance issues.
- Purging Inactive Workspaces
  Inactive workspaces consume valuable storage space and degrade system performance. Instance administrator can configure an instance to periodically purge inactive workspaces.
- Managing Workspace to Schema Assignments
  Instance administrators can view, edit, and remove schema and workspace assignment, associate additional schemas with a workspace, and create new schemas.
- Managing Component Availability for an Instance
  Control which components are available within an Oracle APEX instance, including App Builder, SQL Workshop, PL/SQL editing in SQL Workshop, Team Development, or Data Reporter.
- Exporting and Importing a Workspace
  Move a workspace and all associated users to a new Oracle APEX instance by exporting and importing.
- Installing Exported Applications in a Runtime Environment
  Instance administrators manage the APEX runtime environment using SQLcl and the `APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN` API.
- Exporting and Importing from a Command Line
  Export and import workspaces, applications, and related files from a command line.
- Changing Application Build Status in Administration Services
  An Instance administrator can change the build status of an application.
- Viewing the Application Attributes Report
  View applications by workspace on the Application Attributes page.
- Viewing the Parsing Schemas Report
  Use the Parsing Schemas report to identify the current parsing schema of each application in any workspace.
- Accessing Workspace Reports
  Instance administrators can view workspace reports from Manage Workspaces, Workspace Reports.
