​

Only system or space administrators can manage the settings and properties of a space.
​


There are three access paths to the settings of a space:
​

  • The navigation menu and the space header provide an in-depth overview of the settings for this particular space.
    ​

  • Meanwhile, the general settings offer a comprehensive overview of the settings for all spaces.
    ​

Space Settings via the Navigation Menu or Space Header

To access the space options via the space header, click on βš™οΈ at the top of the space.
​

Space header

To access the space options via the navigation menu:
​

  1. Hover over the space menu on the left.
    ​

  2. Click on the three little dots of the space.
    ​

  3. An options panel will be displayed as shown below.
    ​

Navigation menu

Here is the list of different settings options available via the space header and the navigation menu:
​

  • General: As the name suggests, you can edit the general settings of the space here (name, description, introduction...), including permissions and notifications.
    ​

  • Members: Manage space members.
    ​

  • Look & Colors: Change the appearance of the space and enable/disable social boxes.
    ​

  • Tabs: Notify and/or add navigation tabs to your space.
    ​

  • Imports: Manage the different imported files in this space.

Space Settings via General Settings

Space settings

To access the space options via General settings:
​

  1. Click on your profile picture at the top-right corner.
    ​

  2. Select Settings.
    ​

  3. Under General on the left, click on Spaces.
    ​

From here, you can see the settings of all spaces at once:
​

  • Members: Manage space members.
    ​

  • Edit: Edit the general settings such as name, description, type, default space, and default role. If you want to edit permissions and notifications, you'll need to use the settings from the navigation menu or space header.
    ​

  • Close: If a space is no longer relevant, you can close it. Unlike the 'delete' option, you can choose to reopen it whenever you want without losing any content.
    ​

  • Delete: Deleting a space will remove all associated content. Be cautious with this option.
