How to Invite a Team Member to Your Tolstoy Workspace

Invite teammates from Settings → Members, resend or copy pending invitations (owners and admins), and transfer ownership.

Written by David T

Introduction

Invite teammates into your Tolstoy workspace so everyone works in one shared account instead of sharing one login. You manage invitations and members from Members in Settings on the Tolstoy website.

Manage pending invitations

Under Pending, click the … menu on the invitation:

  • Resend invitation sends the email again.

  • Copy invitation link copies a link you can send to your teammate yourself.

  • Revoke invitation cancels it (workspace owner only).

The workspace owner and any admin can resend a pending invitation or copy its link. An invitation marked Expired can’t be resent from this menu.

Roles and members

  • A workspace has one Owner. Everyone else is an Admin.

  • Only the owner can remove members (Remove member) or transfer ownership.

  • To make another member the owner, open the … menu on an active member and choose Transfer ownership. You become an admin, and only the new owner can then remove members or transfer ownership.

Troubleshooting / FAQs

What does Pending mean?
The invitation was sent, but the teammate hasn’t accepted it yet.

My teammate didn’t get the invite email.
Open the invitation’s … menu and choose Resend invitation, or choose Copy invitation link and send the link directly. Owners and admins can both do this.

Can I choose a different role when I invite someone?
No. Invited teammates join as admins. The only role change is transferring ownership.

Why can’t I remove a member or revoke an invitation?
Only the workspace owner can do that.

Why does Tolstoy say the email address is invalid?
Enter a full email address, such as name@company.com.
