• Favourite: Spaces you have marked as your favourites, including global and personal spaces.
• Category: Spaces that have the same space category, including global and personal spaces.
• New: Global spaces added to the site in the last seven days.

To see the spaces on the dashboard:

2. Scroll down until you see the list of spaces under the heading 'Spaces'.
3. Click one of the tabs to see the spaces you want.

Viewing Spaces in the Space Directory

The space directory displays a list of global and personal spaces that you have permission to view. Remember to log in, so that you can see the complete list of spaces based on your username's permissions. The order of spaces is random.

• All Spaces: This tab shows all the global and personal spaces on the site that you have permission to view.

Notes

• If you do not log in, you will be treated as an 'anonymous user'. Confluence will display only those spaces that an anonymous user has permission to access.
• Permission to access a space is granted by a space administrator. See the overview of space permissions.
• You can use the Spaces List macro to display a list of spaces on a Confluence page.
