    2.1) Settings: Edit the Space Icon, Name, Description, Web address, and Collection

    2.2) Permissions: Make private, Hide space, Make Invite-Only, Anyone can invite option, Who can post, Who can react (learn more here).

  • Make Private: Only the members who have joined this space can view the space content and interact with it. All community members can Request to Join a Private Space. Moderators and Admins can accept or reject the request.

  • Make Hidden: Hide this Space from non-Space-members. Hidden Spaces will not display under Collections for members who are not a part of the Space already. Therefore, by making the space Private and Hidden, you are creating a secret space.

  • Make invite-only: Only people with an invite can join the Space. Admins and Moderators can invite the registered users to each space.

  • Anyone can invite: All registered members who are part of this space can invite others to the Space.

  • Who can post: Define if only admins are allowed to create a new post in this space or if all members who have joined this space can create a post.

  • Who can react and comment: Define who is allowed to react to or comment on the posts created in the space.

    ❗Note: By setting the “Who can post=Admin Only” and “Who can react and comment=Admin only”, you can create a space that can be used only by admins but still can be explored by regular members (depending on the Access settings).


    2.3) Notifications: Define the default notification settings.

    2.4) SEO: Set us SEO Title, SEO Description, Banner, enable/disable “Hide from search results”
    âť—Note: Do not forget to click the Update button to save the changes.

    2.5) Danger zone: Admins can delete a Space. Once a space is deleted, all the content associated with the space will be permanently removed. This action is not reversible.

Change or Remove a Space's Banner Image

A Space's Banner image is displayed on a Space with a Space Header block in the card view.

  • In the Space, hover over the banner and click Add Cover Image/Change Cover.

âť—Note: Although it is not recommended to add text to the cover image, you can upload a 1:4 ratio image with a good amount of padding so that the text shows up properly. The recommended image size for a space header is 1,200 x 250 pixels.

  • Reposition image: Adjust the image within the Space's banner header by using drag/drop functionality.

  • Remove image: Revert to the Space default banner image.
