# Spaces

> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](/llms.txt).

Give each team or project its own area of the organization, with its own documents, members, and access.

## How spaces work

Every organization starts with one **Company space**, which holds all published company documents. A space is an additional area alongside it, such as Engineering, Design, or a single customer project, with its own document tree.

The left nav shows one space at a time. Switching spaces swaps the whole tree, so you only see the documents that belong to the space you're in.

## Prerequisites

Only organization owners can create, convert, and archive spaces. Members can work inside any space they have access to.

## Switch spaces

Use the space switcher at the top of the left nav. Pick a space to scope the tree to it, or pick **Company space** to go back to the default.

Switching takes you to your home page, since whatever document you had open belongs to the space you just left.

## Create a space

1. In the space switcher, click **New space**.
2. Give the space a name.
3. Choose who can reach it under **Access**:

   | Access | Who gets in |
   | --- | --- |
   | **Everyone in the organization** | All org members can view and edit |
   | **Invited members** | Only people you add; the space is hidden from everyone else |

4. Click **Create space**.

Falconer switches you into the new space and opens its page, where you can add members and start filing documents.

> **Note:** A restricted space is invisible to non-members. Its documents don't appear in their search results or in answers from the Falcon agent.

## Manage a space

You can manage a space from the settings icon next to the space switcher.

From there you can rename it, change who can access it, and add or remove members – the same access controls as any folder, applied to everything inside the space.

## Convert a folder into a space

An existing company folder can be promoted to a space.

1. Open the folder.
2. From the folder menu, choose **Convert to space**.

3. Confirm.

Converting can't be undone, so make sure the folder is really the root of the area you want.

## Move documents between spaces

Move a document via *Move* or *Publish*, then pick a destination space in the move dialog.

Falconer asks you to confirm when a move widens org-wide visibility – publishing private content into a space, or moving from a restricted space into one that's open to the whole organization.

## Archive a space

From the space page, choose **Archive space**.

The documents inside are archived along with it and drop out of search. They stay available under **Archived** if you need them back.
