1. Under the **Sign On** tab, click on **Edit** to add your unique Sketch **Workspace ID**. You can copy this from either the **EntityID** or **ACS URL** fields created when [setting up SAML SSO in your Sketch Workspace](/docs/getting-started/single-sign-on/setting-up-saml-sso/choose-a-shortname/). Paste your Workspace ID into the Okta **Workspace ID** field and click **Save**.

    **Note**: When copying these values from Sketch make sure you’re only copying the Workspace ID. In the **Entity ID** field, the Workspace ID is everything after `sketch-`. In the **ACS URL**, it is everything after `acs?id=`.
