Everything you do in Craft takes place in a Space. When you first open Craft you will arrive in your private Space, it's your virtual home to write, organize, and share your documents.

There are many options for shaping your Space any way you like or to create new Spaces.

Learn here about different types of Spaces and how to manage them.

Space Basics

Managing Spaces

Space Basics

Your Space is split into two main sections: the sidebar and the documents list. When you open a document, it displays here.

Sidebar

In Craft, you can rely on the Sidebar to

• Access and manage your Documents, Folders, and Shared Pages
• Check your Calendar and your Daily Notes
• Search within the Space

Three-dot menu (top right corner)

Click on this menu to:

• Change the Layout and Sorting options

• Export all your documents
• Import your notes
• Check your Stats and Activity (if you have Pro Tier)

Space Types

In Craft there are 3 different Space types:

1. Private Space
   

   Everyone starts with their own Private Space in Craft. You cannot invite additional members to your default space.

2. Shared Space
   

   It’s a good idea to create a new Space when you want to collaborate with others, or for different sets of topics such as Family or Business. 

   When you invite someone to your Space, all the documents and pages in that Space are accessible to them. To share your documents with others, check out: Sharing Documents.

   You can invite up to 5 guest members to a shared space who will have the same editing rights as you do.

   Tip: You can switch between Spaces easily on any platform, and pin your frequently used Spaces to your sidebar.
3. External Storage Space

   You can create External Storage Space that will never communicate with our backend, meaning that your data is yours and you define the location of storage. More about external locations.
