No. Products are surfaces onto one workspace, not separate installations. A crawl you run once feeds the audit, the link tools, the content briefs and the reports, which is why the findings in each of them agree with one another.

Start with Site Audit on one real project. It captures the crawl every other product reads, so it turns the rest of the system on. Choosing by outcome rather than by feature name is what the categories above are for.

A verified domain is enough to crawl. Search Console is what adds Google's own view of impressions, positions and indexing - without it the product tells you what is on your pages, and says plainly that it cannot speak for what Google did.

Yes, and the difference is stated rather than hidden. Crawl-based findings work fully; anything that would need Google's own evidence is marked as not measured instead of estimated, because a guess about a third party is worse than an honest gap.

An audit is a snapshot; this is a loop. A finding is re-tested against your own evidence on the next crawl and retired when the page proves it fixed, so the list you work from is what is still true today rather than what was true the day it was generated.

Yes. The crawl and the technical checks are language-independent, and keyword and ranking data are requested for the market and script you select rather than defaulting to one country.

Your project data belongs to you and can be exported while the workspace is active. Deleting a project removes it from every product that reads it, so nothing keeps reporting on a site you have withdrawn.
