This page guides you step-by-step through the process of fully resetting a Compass workspace, allowing you to start discovery afresh from a clean state.
Workspace Termination is the option in Settings that resets a Compass workspace back to a clean state. It is the supported path for starting over - for example, after test/demo use, a misconfigured onboarding, or when you want to re-run discovery from scratch rather than layering new snapshots on top of old data.
Warning
This action is destructive and irreversible. Terminating a workspace permanently removes its imported data. There is no undo and no recovery path once the termination is confirmed.
Use this procedure if:
-
You onboarded a test, demo, or trial workspace and want to remove it cleanly.
-
Your environment data is stale, corrupted, or was imported incorrectly and you would rather start fresh than manage it snapshot-by-snapshot.
-
You want to re-scope the assessment (for example, a different tenant or a different Citrix Site) and need a clean workspace rather than a mixed one.
Tip
If you need only to remove a single bad import, use the applicable snapshot management action instead:
This is reversible in scope (it only affects one snapshot) and does not touch the rest of the workspace. Workspace termination is the broader, all-or-nothing reset.
-
Role required: Workspace Admin. Users without admin rights will not see the Workspace Termination option.
-
Recommended before you start: export any snapshot data you may still need (Actions menu › Export) - once the workspace is terminated, that data cannot be recovered.
-
Sign in to your workspace at app.getnerdio.com.
-
Navigate to Settings › Workspace Termination.
-
Select Terminate Workspace.
-
Confirm the action in the warning dialog. You will be asked to type the workspace name or complete a similar confirmation step to prevent accidental termination.
-
The workspace and its data are removed. You are returned to the workspace creation/onboarding flow if you want to start a new one.
