Working with Spaces Overview

In Confluence, content is organized into spaces.

Spaces are areas on your site into which you can group content items (pages, attachments, news, etc) based on any theme or topic of your choice.

For example, you may want separate areas on your site for each team or project within your organisation. In Confluence, you can set up a different space for each team or project. You can build content for each of these spaces individually, decide who its users are, and even archive mail separately within each.

Confluence treats each space as an independently managed wiki. What this means is that each space functions autonomously within your site.

There is no limit to the number of spaces you can create within Confluence!

Each space:

has its own pages, news items, mail, comments and RSS feeds.
has its own access control settings, so you can set different levels of access to different spaces.
can be separately exported to PDF , HTML or XML.

You can view all the spaces within a site via the dashboard. Click on the logo beside the page title to go to the dashboard.

Here is an example of how you could categorise information using spaces:
