# Add a Model or Conversation

## Adding a New Model to the Workspace

1. To add a model, click the **`+`** button at the top left in the top toolbar and select New model from the dropdown menu.
2. Type the **name** of the model. Optionally, you can assign a **code**, a **description** and the **base size** of the model.
3. Select the **Progress status** of the model. By default, the one set in the [Workspace settings](https://help.fashionupdater.app/en/workspace-management/workspace-administration/workspace-settings) will be selected.
4. Assign at least one **Tag** by selecting it from those available in the menu.
5. If necessary, you can assign one or more [User Groups](https://help.fashionupdater.app/en/workspace-management/workspace-administration/user-groups).
6. Click the **Add** button to confirm.

{% hint style="success" %}
New *models* added to the Workspace are visible to all users with **Standard** type permissions or higher. Only assigning a user group to the model enables access to any users with **Viewer** type permissions who are part of it.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
However, assigning a user group to the model does not involve direct access by the related *Viewer* type members to the model contents as well.

To make content visible to *Viewer* type users, it is necessary to specify permissions for each individual content as described in the section dedicated to [content sharing](https://github.com/fboc/fashionupdater-wiki/blob/main-en/workspace-management/model-operations/broken-reference/README.md).

## Adding a Model Starting from Selected Filters in the Left Column

{% hint style="info" %}
It is possible to add a new model starting from an active selection of tags and user groups.
{% endhint %}

1. Select one or more **tags and/or user groups** from the left column to get a list of models.
2. Click the **`+`** button at the top left in the top toolbar and select New model from the dropdown menu.
3. In the dialog window, the **tags** and **user groups** fields will be automatically filled based on the active filters. This way the attributes will be assigned to the new model.

## Adding Multiple Models in a Single Operation

Sometimes you need to add multiple models that share the same basic characteristics, such as Season, Collection, Brand, etc.

1. To add multiple models with a single operation, click the **`+`** button at the top left in the top toolbar and select New model from the dropdown menu.
2. Click the **`+`** button to the right of the **Name** text field.
3. In the **Multiple Names** text box, type the list of names separating them with a comma. Alternatively, you can **paste a list of names** copied from another file, such as a list of names in an Excel sheet. Fashionupdater will take care of formatting it correctly.
4. Optionally, **and only if the additional information is shared**, you can assign a **code**, a **description** and the **base size**.
5. Assign at least one **Tag** by selecting it from those available in the menu.
6. If necessary, you can assign one or more [User Groups](https://help.fashionupdater.app/en/workspace-management/workspace-administration/user-groups) and one or more [Linked Elements](https://help.fashionupdater.app/en/workspace-management/linked-elements).
7. Click the **Add** button to confirm.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Additional information** will be applied to all models that will be added in the same operation.
{% endhint %}

## Adding a New Conversation to the Workspace

1. To add a conversation, click the **`+`** button at the top left in the top toolbar and select New conversation from the dropdown menu.
2. Type the **name** of the conversation. Optionally, you can also specify a **description**.
3. In the Conversation Attributes section, assign at least one **User Group** by selecting it from those available in the menu.
4. Click the **Add** button to confirm.

{% hint style="success" %}
Conversations will be visible and accessible only to members of the User Group or User Groups that have been assigned to them.
{% endhint %}
