workspace

Shortcut for the Workspace service.

workspace is the same instance as game:GetService("Workspace"). The engine sets it when the place loads, so scripts can use it without a lookup.

What lives here

Parts, models, and characters sit under workspace, and that is what makes them part of the world. Creating a part does not put it anywhere by itself; setting its parent does.

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 10, 0)
part.Parent = workspace

Destroying the part removes it from the world, along with anything parented under it.

Members

Workspace has the shared Instance members plus the world properties and the Raycast method. See Workspace for the full reference.
