| What is it? | HubSpot is forcing all Sales Hub Professional and Enterprise users onto a completely redesigned Sales Workspace on April 27, 2026 — with no option to revert after May 18. |
| Key Benefit | The updated workspace eliminates duplicate CRM/workspace configurations, gives instant access to every Smart CRM feature, and introduces AI-powered Suggested Tasks and new pipeline visibility cards. |
| What's Removed | Custom Prospects/Deals tabs, workspace task playlists, View-As mode for managers, the "Start All" lead queue, Deal Stage Tracker, and the Leads Analyze tab. |
| Who's Affected | Every HubSpot Sales Hub Professional and Enterprise customer worldwide. |
| Bottom Line | You have exactly one month to audit your workspace configuration, rebuild saved views, retrain your team, and test the new experience before the mandatory switch. |
On April 27, 2026, HubSpot will automatically switch every Sales Hub Professional and Enterprise account to a completely redesigned Sales Workspace. This isn't an optional upgrade or a beta you can ignore — it's a mandatory migration.
| Date | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Now – April 27 | Admins can opt in early via Settings → Sales Workspace → Others |
| April 27, 2026 | All accounts automatically switch to the updated experience |
| April 27 – May 18 | Safety window: Admins can temporarily revert (limited time) |
| May 18, 2026 | Permanent switch. The toggle is removed. No going back. |
The original Prospecting Workspace launched in 2023 with custom-built interfaces. The problem? It created a parallel universe inside HubSpot — teams maintained two configurations, training doubled, and Smart CRM features couldn't reach workspace users. HubSpot's solution: rebuild the workspace on native Smart CRM so everything stays in sync.
Deals:
Leads:
Companies:
Custom workspace task playlists are replaced by standard CRM task queues. Controls move from the side panel to a top banner, and reps see the full record instead of a condensed view. Any carefully built playlists need reconstruction as CRM task queues.
The Summary page is now fully customizable with drag-and-drop ordering and collapsible sections.
New cards:
Removed:
"The Sales Workspace used to be a central hub where reps could operate efficiently without constantly being redirected across the CRM. Removing View-As feels like a downgrade — it's far less intuitive and adds unnecessary friction."
HubSpot acknowledges the View-As loss was "a casualty" of the architectural decision and says they're "actively exploring paths to bring it back."
Week 1: Audit and Assess
Week 2: Build the New Configuration
Week 3: Test and Train
Week 4: Roll Out

HubSpot is redesigning its Sales Workspace to use native CRM index pages instead of custom-built interfaces. The update replaces custom Prospects and Deals tabs with standard CRM views, swaps workspace task playlists for CRM task queues, and introduces a customizable Summary page with AI-powered cards. It's mandatory for all Sales Hub Professional and Enterprise users.
The automatic switch happens on April 27, 2026. Admins can opt in early through Settings. After April 27, there's a limited revert window until May 18, 2026, when the switch becomes permanent.
Key removals include: View-As mode (managers viewing workspace as another user), the "Start All" lead queue, custom workspace task playlists, inline deal alerts, the Deal Stage Tracker in the preview panel, the Leads Analyze tab, and Guided Actions (replaced by Suggested Tasks).
New additions include: a fully customizable Summary page with drag-and-drop cards, Stalled Deals card, Follow-up on Meetings card, Suggested Tasks (smarter AI recommendations that auto-expire), schedule list view toggle, and meeting booking from the Schedule tab (beta).
Only temporarily. Between April 27 and May 18, 2026, admins can switch back via Settings. After May 18, the toggle is permanently removed.
HubSpot suggests: (1) Use shared saved views so managers can see rep work, or (2) Sales Hub Enterprise customers can use "Log in as another user" in Settings. HubSpot says they're exploring paths to restore this feature.
Start with HubSpot's interactive demo and Switching Guide. Audit current configurations, rebuild playlists as task queues, create saved views, configure side panels with Deal Score and Insights, and update training materials before switching.
