What are Spaces?
"Spaces" are virtual rooms for specific topics or interests within your Community Hub. They help members have focused discussions, share resources, and work together. For example, if you have an academic community Hub, you might want to create Spaces for different subjects, student groups, or places to post important announcements.
Well-organized Spaces improve member engagement, build connections among people with similar interests, and create a structured environment that meets different needs.
Create a Space
Creating a Space in your Community Discussions page is easy, similar to editing your Hub pages. Simply access the page settings to find the option for creating one. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Step 1 - Go to your Hub editor
Navigate to your Hubs list and click the Customize button beside "Dashboard" to access the Hub editor.
Step 2 - Access the Discussions Page editor
In the Pages section, click the three-dot menu for the "Discussions" page and choose Settings.
Step 3 - Create a new space and set posting permissions
In the settings, you will find a list of spaces within your Hub. The default space is "General" if you have not added any space yet. Click on + New Space and enter the name you want for your new space. You can also set the permissions to allow posting by everyone, only moderators and the Hub owner, or restrict it to just the Hub owner.
You're all set! Your newly created space will now be visible on your Community Hub. 🎉 Members who are allowed to post can now start creating posts.
