In this article, learn how to create a new Space and edit an existing Space.
A Space is a customizable container that hosts content and connections under common themes and/or purposes. Spaces give structure to a community.
Create a Space
By default, new communities come with one Space and one Collection. Community Admins can create a new Space in the community in 2 ways:
Log in with your admin account > click on the + button on top-right > Add Space:
2. Log in with your admin account > select a Collection on the left sidebar > click the + Add Space button:
Edit a Space
Select the Space from the left sidebar > click [...] > click Settings. This takes you to the Space Setting page:
From the Space settings page, update the general Settings, Permissions, Notifications, and SEO:
Settings: Edit the Space Icon, name, Description, Web address, and Collection
Permissions: Make private, Hide space, Make Invite-Only, Anyone can invite option, Who can post, Who can react. (Learn more here)
Make Private: Only the members who have joined this space can view the space content and interact with it. All community members can Request to Join a Private Space. Moderators and Admins can accept or reject the request.
Make Hidden: Hide this Space from non-Space-members. Hidden Spaces will not display under Collections for members who are not a part of the Space already. Therefore, by making the space Private and Hidden, you are basically creating a secret space.
Make invite-only: Only people with an invite can join the Space. Admins and Moderators can invite the registered users to each space.
Anyone can invite: All registered members who are part of this space can invite others to the Space.
Who can post: Define if only admins are allowed to create a new post in this space or if all members who have joined this space can create a post.
Who can react and comment: Define who is allowed to react to or comment on the posts created in the space.
❗Note: By setting the “Who can post=Admin Only” and “Who can react and comment=Admin only”, you can create a space that can be used only by admins but still can be explored by regular members (depending on the Access settings).
Notifications: Define the default notification settings
SEO: Set us SEO Title, SEO Description, Banner, enable/disable “Hide from search results”
âť—Note: Do not forget to click the Update button to save the changes.Danger zone: Admins are able to delete a Space. Once a space is deleted, all the content associated with the space will be permanently removed. This action is not reversible.
Change or Remove a Space's Banner Image
A Space's Banner image displays in Space's top header and in its Collection page.
In the Space, hover over the banner and click Add Cover Image/Change Cover.
âť—Note: Although it is not recommended to add text to the cover image, you can upload a 1:4 ratio image with a good amount of padding so that the text shows up properly.
Reposition image:Â Adjust the image within the Space's banner header by using drag/drop functionality.
Remove image:Â Revert to the Space default banner image.
