A Space is a shared area where a team or individuals posts updates, shares learning and books events together. Each Space can be based upon a Skill, topic of interest or any category of information people may want to learn more about using a community approach. Spaces you belong to are listed in your side panel.
How it works
A Space can have up to four tabs:
Feed: posts from members, with comments and reactions. Owners and moderators can pin posts to the top.
Resources: Nuggets, Courses and other internal content types added by the Space Owner.
Path: an ordered list of learning that members work through - often related to the Space topic.
Events: sessions members can book.
Owners and moderators can rename, reorder or hide tabs, so a Space may show different tab names or fewer tabs.
For example, a Store Opening Team Space might pin the opening-day rota in Feed, list the store opening checklist under Resources, and offer walkthrough sessions under Events.
Public and Private Spaces
Public: any user can select Join to begin following and interacting in the Space. You can leave and rejoin at any time.
Private: shown with a lock icon, these Spaces are hidden from search (only visible for members of the Space). To become a member, users must be added by the Space Owner themselves. (the same applies if a member leaves then wants to rejoin the Space).
Space roles
Each member is an Owner, a Moderator or a member.
Owners and moderators manage settings, members, tabs and content. Whoever creates a Space is a permanent Owner.
Space roles are separate from workspace Access Levels: an Admin who isn't an Owner or Moderator can't change a Space's settings, and Read Only users can only be members.
Who uses Spaces
So remember that Spaces can be used in a series of different ways, but the aim is the same: to create a collective area for ideas-sharing and social learning...
Learners join Spaces to follow updates, ask questions, use shared resources and book events. You need to join before you can post, comment, react or book.
Team leads and creators set up Spaces for a team, project or cohort. Anyone except Read Only users can create one.
A Space isn't a group. Admins use groups to assign learning and budgets; a Space is where people interact and learn together.
