In the Menu Arbeitsräume, choose the category of the space you are looking to join. An overview of all spaces in that category will appear. Click on the space you wish to join and in the sidebar, click on Join this Space. You can find an overview of all the spaces you joined in the top menu under Spaces ➝ Meine Spaces.

To create a space, head over to Spaces in the top menu bar and select Einen Space erstellen (Create a space).

Here, you can set the space’s name, slug and description. The space category will allow others to quickly find your space and is required.‌

If you want to set up the space before anybody else can join or see the space, it’s best to leave the space private first and change the option later to open it to the spaces community. When you have finished setting up the space, you can open the space to the community, allow self registration for others to participate in your space on their own – or simply keep the space private and only invite certain people.

You can change the privacy settings of your space to determine who can see or participate in a space.

In the Einstellungen (Settings) tab, you can determine if the spaces community can view or participate in your space, can choose to join your space of their own accord, or whether they have to be added manually by an admin. Each option, when selected, gives more information.

You can invite others spaces members to join your space. In case your space is private, this is the only way to add other members.

Once you navigate to the Members tab in the sidebar, using the search bar, you can find and add any user. After selecting the users, you can change their role in the drop-down menu. Click on “change” to save the setting.

You can assign the members of your space different roles. There are three roles to choose from:

• Subscriber: In this role the member can see what is happening in the space (read all posts), but cannot add any content.
• Author: In this role the members can add content to the space.
• Administrator: In this role the members have the same rights as the person who created the space. We recommend that you appoint at least one other admin.

You can control which email notifications you receive by activating/deactivating them in each of the spaces you have joined under the Einstellungen (Settings) tab.
Note: You can also toggle the email notifications for the main news feed on the homepage.

Deleting a Space is currently only possible by a system admin.

Contact the spaces team with the details of the space you wish to delete. You have to be an administrator of the space in order to request it be deleted. Please note that by deleting a space, all information contained will be lost – including photos, videos, documents, and posts.

To add a menu, head to Darstellung ändern (Change Appearance), then Menüs. You can choose between a dynamic menu or a static menu. The dynamic menu consists of posts and comments, while static menu is used to show pages.

.

To rename menus, you can click the blue edit buttons on the menu you want to edit.

You can decide which navigation items should be in which menu. By default every new page is added automatically to static menus, but can be still be removed or added afterwards.

It is possible to just show one menu, static or dynamic. Navigate into the Menus tab, select the menu you want to disable and deselect all menu locations. To not only hide but delete a menu, there is an option at the bottom.

You can change the behavior of the menus and the corresponding content to be dynamic or static. This also allows for two static menus, if you want to display different content in each of them.

You can also add category pages to a static menu as well as pages to a dynamic menu. With the button Einträge hinzufügen you can add posts, links, pages or categories. All these special navigation items are not shown in the content until you click it. There are marked with icons.

When adding an animated GIF to your post, make sure to select Full Size when uploading/inserting it into the post. Otherwise, WordPress will try compressing the image, preserving only the first frame of the animation.

Should you feel the need for your name to be changed, please contact the spaces support team.
