Overview

Spaces act as categories for posts in your community. When members create a post, they’ll be prompted to select a Space to publish it in. Posts appear both in the Community tab (which shows all posts across Spaces) and within the specific Space used to sort posts.

Spaces help you keep discussions organized by topic. For example, you can create:

  • A “Announcements” Space for official updates.

  • A “Wins” Space to celebrate member achievements.

  • A “Books” Space for reading recommendations.

You can customize Spaces to suit your community’s goals and tone.

Note: The number of Spaces you can create depends on your pricing plan. View plan details here.


How to Create Spaces

  1. Login as a community owner or admin.

  2. In your community home page, go to Settings (on the right) > Spaces.

  3. Click Add Space on the top-right corner of the screen.

  4. Enter the Space details, such as name and description.

  5. Decide whether to make the Space admin-only if you want to restrict access exclusively to administrators.

  6. Click Save to create the Space.

Once created, you’ll see the new Space as an option when creating a post.


How to Reorder Spaces

To adjust the order of your Spaces:

  1. Go to Settings > Spaces.

  2. Drag and drop Spaces by dragging the six dots on the left of the space name to rearrange them in your preferred order.


How to Edit, Archive, or Delete Spaces

  1. Go to Settings > Spaces.

  2. Click the three dots (⋯) next to the Space you want to manage.

  3. Select Edit, Archive, or Delete.

🟡 Important Notes:

  • Archive hides the Space from members but keeps its content. You can unarchive it later.

  • Delete permanently removes the Space and all its posts. This action cannot be undone.
