Managing a team in Bolt brings together everything you need to organize members, set roles, and keep shared workspaces running smoothly. You can create teams, invite people, connect GitHub organizations, and upgrade members as your needs grow. These tools help you coordinate access, maintain subscriptions, and keep your team’s projects structured and easy to manage.

​
Create a new team

To create a new team:
  • On the Bolt homepage, hover over the left-side menu and click Select Account, then Create a team. Create Team Dialog
  • You can also create a team from the Pricing page. Under the Teams plan, click Create new team. Create New Team
  • Now, the Create a team dialog opens. Choose whether to create a standalone team or connect your GitHub organization. Using a GitHub organization automatically syncs members.
    • For a standalone team:
      1. Enter the slug for your team. This forms part of the team’s projects URL.
      2. Click Save and continue.
      3. On the next screen, enter the email address or Bolt username to add members.
      4. Click Send invite.
  • If you prefer to connect your GitHub organization and sync members:
    1. Click Add GitHub Organization.
    2. Click Authenticate with GitHub. Follow the GitHub authentication flow.
After creating the team, the system takes you to Members section of your Team page. You will now need to upgrade to the Teams subscription plan:
  1. Click Upgrade team. If your team doesn’t have any members, you need to add at least one.
  2. Finalize the payment process.
Only the team admin can create a team and invite members.

​
Add and upgrade team members

To add a team member:
  1. Log in to your Teams account and open the Bolt homepage.
  2. Hover over the left side of your screen, then click My Subscription.
  3. Click Team in the left menu.
  4. Under the Members section, enter the username or email of the person you wish to invite to your team.
  5. Choose their role: member, admin, or billing admin.
  6. Click Send invite to invite members.
Once the new member accepts their invitation, you’ll see them as active, i.e., the ‘’Pending invitation’’ will be removed. As the team admin, you need to upgrade them:
  1. Click the Upgrade button next to the user’s details.
  2. Alternatively, if you want to upgrade multiple users, select them by clicking the checkbox on the left side. At the top of the Members page, change their role, click the three-dot menu on the right > click Upgrade to paid button.
  3. Finalize the payment process.

Reusing seats on annual plans

Annual Teams plans include a helpful safeguard that prevents your subscription from growing when it doesn’t need to. If a team member was downgraded more than one month ago, their paid seat becomes eligible for reuse. When you upgrade another member later on, Bolt will automatically reuse that older seat instead of adding a new one to your subscription. Example Imagine your team has a yearly plan with 5 seats and 10 total members:
  • 3 active paid members
  • 1 member downgraded two months ago
  • 1 member downgraded two days ago
  • 5 free members
If your admin upgrades two of the free members:
  • Without seat reuse: Your plan would increase by 2 seats, bringing your total to 7. It would return to 5 when your billing year ends.
  • With seat reuse: Bolt reuses the seat from the member downgraded two months ago. Your plan increases by only 1 seat, bringing your total to 6 until the billing year ends.
    You can also choose to wait until the second member’s one-month period has passed. Once it does, you’ll be able to upgrade both members without increasing your total number of seats.
The downgraded seat that was inactive for more than a month is what makes this possible. What this means for your team This process helps your team stay flexible. You can rotate members in and out without unnecessary increases to your annual subscription. When planning upgrades, it can be useful to keep an eye on when earlier downgrades occurred so you can make full use of seat reuse.

​
Share team projects

When a team member creates a project in a team, the project is accessible to all team members by default (even if the project is set as private), but it isn’t automatically visible. Sharing the project URL with team members allows them to open the project in their accounts. Changes made by different team members are automatically synced across accounts.

​
Find your Bolt projects

Both your personal and team projects are under your Bolt collection: https://stackblitz.com/@USERNAME/collections/bolt

​
Configure project access

Admins can configure default project access for all team projects in StackBlitz:
  • If it’s a GitHub team: https://stackblitz.com/orgs/github/TEAM_NAME/project_settings
  • If it’s a StackBlitz team: https://stackblitz.com/orgs/custom/TEAM_NAME/project_settings
All users can change the sharing settings of individual projects by opening a project in StackBlitz and clicking the Share button.

​
