To edit the details of a space you need to be a space administrator for the space.

To edit the details of a space:

  1. Go to the space and choose Space tools on the sidebar.
    Note: The options available in 'Space tools' differ depending on your space permissions. All space tools options are available if you are a space administrator for the space or you are a super user (a member of the confluence-administrators group).
  2. Choose Overview > Edit Space Details
  3. The 'Edit Space Details' page displays.

If your space uses the Documentation theme:

  1. Choose Browse > Space Admin at the top of the screen.
    Note: The 'Space Admin' option appears only if you are a space administrator for the space or you are a super user (a member of the confluence-administrators group).
  2. The 'Edit Space Details' page displays. 

On the 'Edit Space Details' page you can:

  • Change the name of the space (you can also do this via the sidebar - see Configuring a Sidebar).
  • Change the description of the space.
  • Change the status of the space from 'Current' to 'Archived' or back again - see Archiving a Space.
  • Select a new home page for the space. The home page is the default page that users see when they navigate to the space.
    Note: If you set this field to blank (no selection) the default home page will be the 'Pages' page.
