Viewing spaces in the space directory

The space directory displays a list of site 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.

Categorising the spaces: The spaces are displayed on a number of tabs, each showing a different set of spaces, as follows:

• All Spaces – Shows all the global and personal spaces on the site. The list excludes spaces that you do not have permission to view, and spaces that have been archived.
• Site Spaces – Excludes personal spaces.
• Personal Spaces – Shows only personal spaces.
• Favourite Spaces – Shows the spaces that you have marked as your favourites.
• Various categories – You will see a number of tabs showing spaces categorised by label. You can add any space category you like. See Using Labels to Categorise Spaces.
• Archived Spaces – Shows all the global and personal spaces on the site that have been archived, and that you have permission to view.

Filtering the list of spaces: To restrict the number of spaces displayed, enter a word or words in the Filter box. Confluence will display only the spaces that have the matching words in the space name or description.

To see the spaces in the space directory:

2. Choose one of the tabs to see the spaces you want.
3. If you want to restrict the number of spaces shown, entering a word or words in the Filter box.

Notes

• If you do not log in, you will be treated as an 'anonymous user'. Confluence will display only those spaces that anonymous users have permission to see.
• 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.
