Setting default Spaces

Learn how you can add all the new users to spaces by default using the default space functionality.

A "default" Space means that newly registered users inside the community will be added to that space by default upon registration. This means the new members can see the posts from that space right in their home feed.

This is a great tool to ensure that community members do not miss the most important updates from the critical Spaces. Depending on the default space notification settings, members can also be notified of new posts in a space by default.

❗ Note: When you add a default space, it only adds the new users to the space by default. Existing users won't be added to the newly defined default space.

How admins can add a Default Space

Admins can add default Spaces in 2 ways:

  1. From the Admin Panel

❗Note: Moving forward, all the new members will be added to these spaces by default, unless you remove the space from the Default Spaces list.
