 ## Defining a Workspace
 
-A workspace must include a `vitest.workspace` or `vitest.projects` file in its root directory (located in the same folder as your root configuration file or working directory if it doesn't exist). Vitest supports `ts`, `js`, and `json` extensions for this file.
+A workspace must include a `vitest.workspace` or `vitest.projects` file in its root directory (located in the same folder as your root configuration file or working directory if it doesn't exist).

 Please note that this feature is named `workspace`, not `workspaces` (without an "s" at the end).

 Vitest will treat every folder in `packages` as a separate project even if it doesn't have a config file inside. Since Vitest 2.1, if this glob pattern matches any file it will be considered a Vitest config even if it doesn't have a `vitest` in its name.
