A space is a place for content, including documents, discussions, and blogs. A space can
also contain projects, polls, tags, and announcements. You can create and configure
spaces, setting up defaults for content and managing discussions and documents.
Spaces are typically arranged in a hierarchy that reflects how the community's users are
organized. For example, a human resources department might have its own space, with
sub-spaces for content related to benefits and recruiting. Spaces provide the context
for organizing content, sharing information, collaborating, and generally getting things
done.

- A space is a place for content such as documents, discussions, and blogs. A
space can also contain projects, polls, tags, and announcements.
- You typically structure spaces in a hierarchy, in which some spaces contain
other spaces (also known as "sub-spaces"). The hierarchy tends to mirror the
organizational context of people using the space.
- You can customize the layout of a space's landing page. For more information,
see Using Place Templates.
- People with system admin or space admin permissions can create spaces. They can
also grant people access to space features related to content or administration
features.
- By default, people with system or space admin permissions for a space have those
same permissions for spaces inside it (sub-spaces).
- You can assign moderation permissions to one or more users, giving them the
ability to approve or reject new content, and edit, delete, and move existing
content.
- You can set defaults for discussions and archive discussions.
- You can make discussions available for display on other web sites.
