Schools and impact organizations can now nest multiple workspaces underneath a Playlab Organization. This enables better organization of apps across different teams in your school, the ability to publish apps to your organization instead of all of Playlab, and the ability to see who’s using which of your apps as long as that person also belongs to your organization.
The organizations update also comes with more fine-grained roles at both the Workspace and Organization level to accommodate the different needs of admins, staff and students.
