Spaces come in two main varieties:
- Site spaces – These are where you create content and collaborate with others.
- Personal spaces – Every Confluence user can set up a personal space to work in, which they can make private or leave open so others can see what they're working on. Click your profile picture to set up or visit your personal space.
You can find a full list of the spaces in the Space Directory.
Create as many spaces as you need to get things done:
- Team spaces – Give each team (Engineering, HR, Marketing, Support, ...) their own space so they can focus and make their information easier for everyone to find.
- Project spaces – Put all the information related to your project in one place. This allows everyone to work together in Confluence instead of emailing back and forth.
- Personal space – Store everything you're working on individually, keep your to-do lists, and polish any content before you move it into another shared space.
