Workspace: Allocation vs. creation

General Documentation Issue

Issue Type

  • Error in documentation
  • Missing documentation

Expected Documentation

Use consistent wording in the documentation, i.e., "a workspace is allocated".

Suggested Fix or Improvement

Carefully check which "create"-phrase should be reformulated into a "allocated"-phrase.
