A space is a place for content, including as documents, discussions, and blogs. A space
can also contain projects, polls, tags, and announcements. You can create and configure
spaces, setting up defaults for content and managing discussions and documents.
Spaces are typically arranged in a hierarchy that reflects how the community's users are
organized. For example, in a company the human resources department might have its own
space, with sub-spaces for content related to benefits and recruiting. Spaces provide
the context for organizing content, sharing information, collaborating, and generally
getting things done.

- A space is a place for content such as documents, discussions, and blogs. A
space can also contain projects, polls, tags, and announcements.
- You typically structure spaces in hierarchy, in which some spaces contain other
spaces (also known as "sub-spaces"). The hierarchy tends to mirror the
organizational context of people using the space.
- You can customize a space's overview page using widgets.
- People with system admin or space admin permissions can create spaces. They can
also grant people access to space features related to content or administration
features.
- By default, people with system or space admin permissions for a space have those
same permissions for spaces inside it (sub-spaces).
- You can assign content moderation permissions to someone, giving them the
ability to edit, delete, and move content as needed. You can also turn on
content moderation so that new content must be approved.
- You can set defaults for discussions and archive discussions.
- You can make discussions available for display on other web sites.
