Creating a New Organization

Who this is for:ProOrganization

If you're working with a team — whether that's curators, designers, or AV staff — setting up an organization in Zibit lets everyone collaborate in a shared workspace. Instead of managing projects in isolation, your whole team can access, edit, and build experiences together under one roof. This is especially useful for institutions running multiple exhibits at once, or agencies managing projects across several clients.

Getting Started from the My Projects Dashboard

The My Projects dashboard is your home base in Zibit. From here, you can see all the projects in your workspace — whether you're building an interactive museum kiosk, a digital wayfinding display, or an educational experience.

To create a new project, click the "Create new project" button in the top area of the dashboard. Don't worry about getting everything right from the start — you can rename your project and adjust its settings at any time.

Opening the Workspace Switcher

The sidebar on the left is your starting point for navigating between workspaces. Click the "Workspace" button near the top of the sidebar — it shows the name of your current workspace and a small expand icon. This opens the workspace switcher, where you can move between different workspaces you belong to.

Workspaces help you organize projects by team or client — for example, you might have one workspace for a natural history museum and another for a science center. If you only have one workspace right now, that's completely fine. You can always add more later.

Managing Your Organizations

The Organizations page is your hub for managing all the team workspaces connected to your Zibit account. Here you'll see every organization you belong to, along with options to adjust their settings.

To set up a new team workspace — for example, a separate organization for a partner museum or a new department — click "Create organization" in the top right. You can always adjust organization settings later using the gear icon next to any workspace in the list.

Creating an Organization

The Organizations page is where you manage shared workspaces for your team. To create a new organization, click "Create organization" in the top right corner of the page.

Creating an organization requires an active paid subscription. If your account is on a free or expired plan, you'll need to upgrade before this option becomes available. You can check or change your plan at any time through your workspace billing settings.

You're all set — your organization is ready to go, and your team can start collaborating right away. Here are a few good next steps to make the most of your new workspace:

  • Invite your team members — Add colleagues to your organization so they can access shared projects and contribute to exhibits in progress.
  • Create your first shared project — Start a new project inside your organization to put your collaborative workspace to work right away.
  • Set up a style set — Define your organization's typography, colors, and shadows once so every project stays on-brand.
  • Connect a collection — Link a reusable data set to a project to power dynamic content like event listings or artifact details.
  • Configure your displays — Add the target screen resolutions your team works with most, so every view is optimized for your devices from the start.
