Difference between document library and document workspace

Document Library: - a SharePoint list to store files - can be added to any site Document Workspace: - a template, or a site created from a template used by a small team to create or update a document - can be created directly from Site Actions, Create - can be created from a document library by selecting a document's dropdown menu and select Send To, Document workspace - when created from "Send To", the library in the Document Workspace contains a copy of the original document - when created from "Send To", the document's dropdown includes a "Publish" option that can copy the workspace copy of the document back to the original library - consists of a document library and several lists to support the team working on the document Mike Smith TechTrainingNotes.blogspot.com
