Spaces | Visual Space

Q&A turns an article into an open question that people can answer, rank, and discuss in its space context. The question keeps the familiar article and feed experience, while the Q&A discussion adds voting, rich-text answers, and short comments attached directly to the question or an answer.

This walkthrough takes one question from a private article draft into the Q&A feed, then follows a contributor through answering, voting, and adding a direct comment. Use it when an open response and community ranking will be more useful than fixed poll choices.

Wiki gives a space a calm, curated place to read the published articles that deserve a longer life. Instead of asking readers to search every feed or browse the whole document library, maintainers can collect durable guidance, decisions, explanations, and reference material in one space-level knowledge tree.

Use this walkthrough to add durable published articles to a space Wiki, confirm that each page appears in the right place, and remove a Wiki placement without changing the source article.

Use this walkthrough to enter the right space, find its curated knowledge, and open a Wiki page with confidence. For the wider purpose and boundaries of the feature, start with the [Wiki overview](../wiki.md).

Wiki collects a space's durable published knowledge in one expandable reading tree. Start with the overview, follow the reader journey, or learn how eligible maintainers build the collection without creating a second folder structure.

This walkthrough helps you discover a public Space, inspect it before joining, place it in your personal rail, and use the rail as a reliable return point. It also explains how invitation-only Spaces enter the same navigation.

This walkthrough turns an empty or growing Space into a clear working structure. You will create a Subspace, add a focused Activity inside it, publish both with the right access, and verify how they appear to members.

Spaces are shared homes for communities, teams, projects, and interests. A space brings people, identity, guidance, and connected work into one recognizable place, so members can understand where they are and keep finding the right context as the community grows. The structure is broad enough for a whole organization but still useful for a small group. Members join the space once, then move through its areas and apps without rebuilding the same map in every tool.

A space area is a space, subspace, or activity. The term is useful when the same idea applies at every level, but it does not add another level to the product. Together, the three areas give a community one dependable map for conversation, content, planning, and live collaboration.

Joining a space does two things at once: it makes your signed-in account a member of that community, and it adds the space to your personal navigation. That joined state follows you across Visual Space, so communities you return to often remain easy to reach.

Spaces give a community a shared home, a clear map of its work, and a dependable way for members to return. Use this guide to understand the Space hierarchy, join and navigate communities, build focused areas, or manage a Space you own.

The space information panel keeps the community's most useful orientation beside the current workspace. It helps a member answer a practical question without leaving the Feed, Chat, article, or app they are using: what should I notice, where can I learn more, and what standards apply here?

This walkthrough hands a Space to another joined member and verifies the authority change. Use it when responsibility for the whole community is genuinely moving, not as a temporary substitute for a powerful Role.

This walkthrough builds a practical onboarding layer for a Space. You will add local rules, maintain useful links, select current priorities with Space Pins, and check that an ordinary member can understand what to do next.

This walkthrough invites someone into a Space, follows their response, and verifies the resulting membership. It is useful when a Space is growing or when a private community is ready to admit another member.

This walkthrough takes a role from a clear responsibility to a verified member assignment, then shows how to change or retire it without surprising the people who depend on it. Use it when a Space needs to delegate coordination, moderation, publishing, or administration without transferring ownership.

Space administration is where an owner or authorized manager changes the shared Space itself. These settings shape what members see, how the Space is governed, and how much content it can hold. They are separate from personal Preferences, which affect only one person's experience.

Roles let a Space divide responsibility without forcing every community into the same staff structure. A film collective might use `Producer` and `Review Lead`; a study group might prefer `Facilitator` and `Curriculum Maintainer`. Each name represents a bundle of capabilities that can be reused for several members and, when needed, limited to a particular part of the Space.

Member administration helps a Space welcome people, understand who has joined, and hand over ownership when responsibility changes. It brings several related states into view, but it does not turn them into one kind of access.

Space Administration helps owners and trusted managers shape the shared community without confusing Space-wide settings with personal Preferences. Use these pages to choose the right authority, invite people, maintain access, and make high-impact changes carefully.

The Activities panel is the working map of a space. It keeps subspaces, activities, update signals, and nearby document folders within reach while the main workspace changes between Feed, Chat, Documents, Meetings, Goals, Events, and other available apps.

An About page explains a space area before the reader commits to its day-to-day work. It brings identity, purpose, useful activity, and a path into deeper context together in one quieter view.

Use this walkthrough to place important published work in Expo, confirm where it appears, and remove it when it no longer belongs in the showcase.

Use this walkthrough to find selected work without searching the entire document library. For the broader purpose of the showcase, start with the [Expo overview](../expo.md).

Expo turns selected published work into a focused showcase for a space and its areas. Use this guide to understand what appears at each level, explore community highlights, or maintain the selection as a space owner.

Expo is the official showcase for a space and its areas. It brings selected posts, articles, events, goals, and documents into one visual collection so visitors can quickly understand what the community values and has accomplished.

This walkthrough reshapes a busy Activities panel without losing the work attached to it. You will prioritize Subspaces, move Activities into the right groups, archive inactive work, and verify the member-facing result.
