Frequently asked questions

What is Workplace Codex, and what is Support for?

Workplace Codex, powered by Workplaced, brings together knowledge about workplace strategy and change. You can explore either subject independently and follow their connections. Support helps you use the Codex: navigate, understand your role and find relevant guidance. Through /support or /nl/support, you can reach ten role pages with manuals and presentations. Method articles, workshops and approved strategy activity materials belong in the knowledge library and on method pages. Reading public guidance does not grant access to a client project; that requires an invitation.

Should I start with Workplace or Change?

Choose Explore Workplace for guidance about the work environment, research or workplace decisions. Choose Explore Change when your question concerns how new ways of working become usable and sustained. Change also applies beyond relocation, including HR, technology and organisational work. Both entrances connect to the shared library. If your project changes both space and work practices, you may need both perspectives. Start with your actual question, then check each page’s purpose and intended use. Neither entrance is a mandatory course.

How do I find a page or narrow my search?

Open search from the magnifying glass or Library → Search. Enter a recognisable term, wait for the results and choose a content type such as Method, Workshop, Source or Glossary term. Check that your search term remains after changing a filter. If nothing useful appears, remove filters or try a shorter, more general term. Search matches words; it is not a conversational assistant that understands your project. Open a result and read its purpose before deciding whether it answers your question.

Where can I find the workplace methods?

Open Methods in the library. The index contains 45 workplace methods across six phases: Discover, Define, Design, Deliver, Embed and Recalibrate. Start with a phase or search term, then use available filters such as type, stakeholder or output. Read the purpose and application before choosing material. Clear all removes filters when the selection becomes too narrow. Activity kits support existing methods; a presentation or worksheet does not create another method. Support helps you navigate; the method page remains the substantive starting point.

Where can I find a Change workshop?

Open Workshops and choose a session by its purpose and required decision. The Change collection contains sixteen sessions, W01 to W16. Search and filter by workplace phase, Change activity, language or duration. These sessions are separate from the 45 methods; some original methods also have Workshop in their title. Check both the workshop ID and title. Read preparation, exercises, follow-up and limitations on the workshop page. Its substantive files belong with that page or Resources, not in general Support downloads.

Which user guide should I choose?

Choose the Support role matching your task: knowledge user, employee, champion, consultant, sponsor, client administrator, editor, partner administrator, educator or platform administrator. On the role page, download the PDF manual and PowerPoint presentation in Dutch or English without logging in. The Dutch consultant manual is not yet available. Each button shows format, language and file size. The material is dated 4 October 2026. You can use several guides; reading them grants no project role or access rights.

Which files should I expect in Support?

Support offers role manuals as PDFs, role presentations as PowerPoints and practical guidance on using the Codex. The ten role pages offer Dutch and English. You can download role files without signing in; the Dutch consultant manual is not yet available. Buttons show format, language and file size. The materials are dated 4 October 2026. Workshop files and strategy activity materials belong with their subject pages. Internal audit documents and source files are never public.

Where should I look for workshop and strategy activity files?Partly demo or in preparation

Look for workshop files with the relevant workshop or through Resources. W01 through W16 require sign-in and download permission, which an administrator grants at /manage/users. Strategy activity materials are approved and belong with method pages, not in Support. This does not confirm that every strategy file is already online. For a missing file, ask your Workplaced contact about availability and include the method or workshop and preferred language.

Why can the website language differ from the file language?

The NL/EN control changes only the website. Each file has its own language, shown on its download button. Check that language before opening the file. Role manuals and presentations are publicly available in Dutch and English, except the Dutch consultant manual, which is not yet available. The role materials are dated 4 October 2026. Changing the website language does not translate a downloaded file.

Why can I see a file but not download it?Partly demo or in preparation

Workshop files W01 through W16 require sign-in and download permission; an administrator grants that permission at /manage/users. Role manuals and presentations can be downloaded without signing in. The Dutch consultant manual is not yet available. Documents in Deploy are fictional examples. Check which type of file you are viewing. If an expected download fails, report the page, title, language and error message through your Workplaced contact. Do not use someone else’s account.

What is the difference between a manual and a presentation?

A PDF manual gives practical guidance on using the Codex in your role. A PowerPoint presentation explains that role and its functionality visually. Download either from the role page without signing in, in Dutch or English. The Dutch consultant manual is not yet available. Check the format and language on the button. The materials are dated 4 October 2026 and may describe demo or planned workflows. Internal source files are never public.

How do I check that I have the correct file or page range?

Check format, language and file size on the download button, then compare the title, role, version and date in the file. Public role materials are dated 4 October 2026; the Dutch consultant manual is not yet available. A bundle can contain several activities. A page reference then points to part of the same file. Pages 31 through 33 include three pages. If a file differs from an agreed project version, ask your Workplaced contact which version applies.

Does a Codex account automatically give access to a client project?

No. A Codex account does not automatically provide access to a client project; an invitation is required. One login covers the Codex and /experience, using email and password or Google at /login. Role manuals and presentations can be downloaded without signing in, except the Dutch consultant manual, which is not yet available. Workshop files require sign-in and separate download permission. A working login therefore does not mean you can open every project or file.
