Features
Bluescape Home
September brings a refresh to the Bluescape Home page, adding ease of use to how you create, share, and manage your Bluescape experience.
Personal Space
Bluescape customers users now have access to Personal Space for easy access to all of their work.
All users (with the exception of Virtual Private Instance, on-premise and GovCloud customers) now have a Personal Space when they sign-up for a Bluescape account. If you already have a Bluescape subscription, you don’t need to do anything; your personal space is created automatically.
Features include:

- Create up to three workspaces
- 60MB of included storage
- Share your personal space with anyone you choose (note: users can only share the entire Personal Space and not an individual workspace at this time)
