Defaulting accounts from Worksheets to Workspaces¶
Important
This announcement describes the transition that began in September 2025. Workspaces has since replaced Legacy Worksheets, including in reader accounts. The controls for switching back to Legacy Worksheets are no longer available. For the subsequent deprecation timeline and migration details, see Deprecation of Legacy Worksheets and Dashboards.
Starting in September 2025, Snowflake gradually defaulted accounts from Worksheets to Workspaces according to the following schedule:
| Cohort | Timing of change |
|---|---|
| New organizations | Available to some new customers before the September 2025 rollout |
| On Demand accounts | Gradual rollout began in September 2025 |
| Organizations with only Standard Edition accounts | Gradual rollout began in September 2025 |
| Organizations with only Enterprise Edition and below accounts | Gradual rollout began in late October 2025 |
| Organizations with only Business Critical Edition and below accounts | Gradual rollout began in November 2025 |
| Organizations with Virtual Private Snowflake (VPS) and below accounts | Gradual rollout began in January 2026 |
Note
The upgrade of Classic Console users to Workspaces began in September 2025.
- Before the change:
Worksheets is the default SQL editing experience in Snowflake.
- After the change:
Workspaces becomes the default SQL editing experience in Snowflake. Opening a worksheet opens it in the Workspaces editor, and navigation options to Worksheets are replaced with Workspaces. During this transition, users could temporarily return to the original Worksheets editor or change their default editor. Those options were subsequently removed as part of the Legacy Worksheets deprecation.
