Add a document to a space
Contribute a new document to a shared space.
Beginner · ~5 min · Prerequisites: editor access to a space
Editing a Space's content requires editor or owner access. Viewers can open and read a Space but can't change it.
What you'll do
Create a document directly inside a Space so your teammates can find and read it right away.
Steps
Open a Space you can edit
In the sidebar, click the Space you want to contribute to. If you don't see a New button once you're inside, you have viewer access — ask the Space owner to upgrade your role.
Create a document
Click New inside the Space (or inside a specific folder if you want to place it there). Choose Document to open a blank page in the editor. The document is created in the Space immediately.
Write your content
Give the document a title and add your content. Changes save automatically, so there's no separate publish step.
Confirm teammates can see it
Ask a colleague with Space access to open the Space and navigate to your document — or check the Browse view yourself to confirm it appears in the right folder.
You can also bring an existing personal document into a Space instead of creating one from scratch. See Promote content into a space for how.
