Workspace Settings

Workspace Settings is where you configure how your workspace behaves - from brand identity and team roles to writing styles, content templates, and integrations.

You'll find it at the bottom of the left sidebar.

The settings are organized into sections in the left navigation: General, Team, Brief Guidelines, Article Guidelines, Style Guides, Content Types, Reddit Channels, Internal Linking, and Archive.

General

The General page covers your workspace identity and defaults.

Profile sets your workspace name, description, and avatar. The name appears in the sidebar and workspace switcher.

Website is your company's domain. ContentMonk uses it to analyze your brand, generate Knowledge Base documents during onboarding, power internal link suggestions, and inform content generation. Many features depend on having a website set, so make sure this is filled in.

Brand Identity has two fields. Brand Name Aliases are alternative names your brand might be called in AI responses - for example, HubSpot might also appear as "HubSpot CRM" or "CRM by HubSpot." Adding these ensures ContentMonk catches all mentions when tracking AI visibility. Domain Variations are additional domains and subdomains you own (like docs.yourdomain.com or help.yourdomain.com) so ContentMonk counts citations to those as yours when analyzing AI responses.

Content Defaults sets the default language for new articles and the Primary SEO Location, which determines where ContentMonk fetches keyword data and prompt results from.

Auto-Suggest Internal Links is a toggle that controls whether ContentMonk automatically suggests internal links after generating articles in Content Editorial. This is enabled by default.

Team

The Team page shows all workspace members with their roles, and lets you invite new ones.

At the top you'll see Team Usage showing how many user slots you've used out of your plan limit. Below that is the Members list showing each person's name, email, and role.

Click 'Invite Member' to add someone. Enter their email address and choose a role:

Viewer has read-only access plus a custom writing style - they can view content but not edit it.
Editor has full access to create and edit content, but can't manage team settings or billing.
Admin has full access except billing management.

The invited person receives an email with a link to join. Pending invitations are shown below the members list.

Brief Guidelines

Brief Guidelines control the special sections that ContentMonk automatically includes when generating article briefs. Each section has a toggle to turn it on or off, and a text field where you can customize the instructions ContentMonk follows when writing that section.

Note: this section is being updated and may change in the near future.

The available sections are:

TL;DR Section - a quick summary placed after the introduction. You can customize how it should be structured and what to include.

The Bottom Line - a conclusion section with insights and next steps.

FAQ Section - frequently asked questions placed at the end of the article. You can set the number of questions (1-20) and customize the instructions for how they should be written.

Competitor SERP Research - an analysis section that examines competing pages and identifies content gaps. You can customize what the research should focus on.

Article Guidelines

Article Guidelines is a text field where you define your workspace-wide standards for how articles should be written. This applies to all AI-generated content in the workspace.

You can set core principles, article structure rules, writing style preferences, and any other guidelines you want ContentMonk to follow.

Note: this section is being updated and may change in the near future.

Style Guides

Style Guides is where you set up writing styles so ContentMonk produces content that sounds like your team actually wrote it.

The page has three parts:

User Writing Styles shows every team member in the workspace. Each person can have their own writing style analyzed and saved. When that person is set as the author of an article or social post, ContentMonk uses their style automatically.

There's also a Company Page style for social posts authored by the company rather than an individual.

To set up a writing style, expand a team member's row and click 'Analyze Style'.

You have two options: provide up to 3 article URLs that the person wrote (not AI-generated - the articles need to reflect their actual writing voice), or upload a document with their writing samples.

ContentMonk analyzes the content and creates a style profile. You can edit the style profile afterward if you want to refine it.

Writing Memory sits below the user styles. These are rules the AI learns automatically from your editing patterns.

When you consistently make the same style correction across articles, ContentMonk picks up on it and applies that rule going forward. You can view, edit, or delete individual memories.

General Style Guide is a workspace-wide text field where you define your brand's overall content standards - tone of voice, formatting preferences, prohibited words, terminology, and any universal rules.

This applies to all writers alongside their individual styles, so you get brand consistency without losing personal authorship.

Content Types

Content Types define the categories of content you create and the templates associated with each one. They show up when you create a new article in Content Editorial.

Each content type shows its name, word count setting, and template status.

Templates can be one of three kinds: Default template (locked by ContentMonk), Standard template (uses the default structure), or AI structured (ContentMonk decides the structure at generation time).

You can also create custom templates for any content type.

Click '+ Add Content Type' to create a new one.
Click '+ Create template' next to any existing type to build a custom template for it.
Click Edit to modify the type name, word count, or other settings.

Reddit Channels

Reddit Channels is where you add the subreddits you want to create content for. This is required before you can create Reddit posts in Social Editorial.

Enter a subreddit URL or name and click '+ Add'. ContentMonk will analyze the subreddit - its rules, member count, and top-performing posts - and use that information to generate posts that fit the community.

Each subreddit shows its status (Ready when analysis is complete), member count, and number of rules.

You can also follow subreddits directly from the Reddit tab in Opportunities, and they'll appear here automatically.

Use the refresh icon to re-analyze a subreddit if its rules or trends have changed, or the trash icon to remove it.

Internal Linking

Internal Linking controls how ContentMonk suggests internal links in your articles.

Auto-Suggest Internal Links is a toggle that determines whether ContentMonk automatically generates link suggestions after article completion. This is the same toggle that appears on the General page - changing it in either place updates both.

Priority Internal Links is a table where you define high-priority URLs that ContentMonk should check first when generating internal link suggestions. These links are matched using exact text matching first, then smart semantic matching.

Add links one by one with '+ Add Link', or use 'Import CSV' to add them in bulk. Click 'Download Template' to get the CSV format.

Each priority link has a URL and associated anchor texts. When ContentMonk finds a relevant placement for one of these URLs in an article, it prioritizes it over other potential links.
