Create your first space
Spin up a shared space for your team in a few steps.
Intermediate · ~10 min · Prerequisites: None
What you'll do
Use ＋ New space to create a shared Space, give it a name and description, pick its visibility, and add your first piece of content.
Open New space
Click ＋ New space in the Your spaces list in the sidebar, or open the /content hub and use the New space button there. A creation dialog opens.
Name and describe it
Type a short, recognisable name for the Space — use the team, department, or project name your colleagues will search for. Add a one-line description so members know what belongs here before they open it.
Set visibility
Choose whether the Space is org-visible or private:
- Org-visible — everyone in your organization can see it in the sidebar and hub and can join it directly; no approval or access request is needed.
- Private — hidden from people who aren't explicitly invited; members only.
Not sure which to pick? See Choose space visibility for a full comparison. You can change this after creation from the Space settings.
Add your first content
Once the Space is created you land inside it. Start by doing one of the following:
- Use New to create a document directly in the Space.
- Drag or move an existing doc from Your content into the Space.
Your teammates with access can see new content as soon as it's saved — no publishing step required.
