Workspaces, Projects, and Models

Learn how Workspaces, Projects, Versions, and Models structure your computer vision work in Roboflow

Everything in Roboflow follows this structure:

Workspace → Projects → Dataset Versions → Models

Workspaces

A Workspace is the top-level container.

Think of it like a company folder that holds all your computer vision work.

Projects

A Project lives inside a Workspace. Each Project is built around a computer vision dataset. This is where you manage:

  • Images

  • Annotations

  • Dataset updates over time

When you create a Project, you have to choose the Project type - one of the computer vision task type:

  • Object detection

  • Classification

  • Instance segmentation

  • Keypoint detection

  • Semantic segmentation

  • Multimodal

This determines how your data is structured and which model architectures you can train.

Dataset Versions

A Dataset Version is a snapshot of your dataset at a specific moment in time.

  • You create a Version from the current state of your Project

  • Once created, it does not change

  • Any future edits to images or annotations will not affect existing Versions

Which ensures reproducibility, clear tracking, and helps with model comparison.

Models

Models are trained using Dataset Versions.

  • You select a specific Dataset Version which will be used to train a model

  • That model is permanently linked to that version

  • Available model architectures for training will depend on your Project type

You can also upload trained models to Roboflow.
