Applications
Nextcloud Workspace ships a fixed catalog of Nextcloud applications. IONOS CLOUD validates each one and keeps it patched, so the catalog stays consistent across every workspace.
Some applications are active from the start. Others sit ready in the workspace for an administrator to switch on, so that new users begin with a focused set of tools rather than everything at once. Only a workspace administrator can enable an application.
Pre-enabled applications
The following applications are active in every new workspace:
Application
Purpose

File versioning and activity history are active by default as well.
Applications an administrator can enable
The following applications ship with the workspace and start disabled, so that new users begin with a focused set of tools. An administrator can enable any of them:
Application
Purpose
Whiteboard
Shared visual canvas for brainstorming
Tables
Structured data in table form, similar to a lightweight database
Collectives
Collaborative wiki for team knowledge

Applications outside the catalog
The public Nextcloud App Store carries many further applications and components, and Nextcloud Workspace deliberately offers a curated selection of them. Every application in the catalog is validated and kept patched as part of the managed service, which is what allows the workspace to behave consistently and to be updated as one platform. Applications beyond the catalog therefore cannot be enabled, either by an administrator or on request.
