Confluence is getting a fresh new look and navigation

We’re in the process of rolling out these changes and the documentation may not match your experience. Bear with us while we update it to reflect the new changes. More about navigating the new Confluence

Use labels to categorize spaces

If you've got lots of related spaces, you can use labels to group them together into categories in the Space Directory.

For example, if you're in an IT team who work on a number of projects, each in a different space, you could label each space 'IT-projects-open'. Then in the Space Directory you could select IT-projects-open to see all your current IT project spaces. 

You can add as many space categories to a space as you need, so that if, for example, two different teams are working on a project together, you can add labels for both teams and space will appear under both categories.

You can add or remove labels as your needs change. 

Categorize a space

You need space administrator permissions to add categories to a space.

  1. Navigate to the appropriate space.Next to your space's name in the sidebar, select More actions (•••), then Space settings.

  2. Select Space details.

  3. Select More details.

  4. Select the Categories field to search or choose from a dropdown list.

  5. Select Save.

Add a space description

Help make it easier to find the right space within a category by adding a description to your space:

  1. Navigate to the appropriate space.Next to your space's name in the sidebar, select More actions (•••), then Space settings.

  2. Select Space details.

  3. Input a Description.

  4. Select Save.

View spaces in a category

Select Spaces in the sidebar and select View all spaces, then select one of the categories at the top of the All spaces list.

The space directory list all the spaces you have permission to view.

You can also view spaces by category by using the Spaces List Macro and filtering by category. 

Head to the Spaces menu in the navigation to see all your starred spaces. When viewing a space, you can choose the star icon next to the space title in the sidebar to add it to your Starred Spaces so that it's easier to find later. 

Remove a space from a category

  1. Navigate to the appropriate space.Next to your space's name in the sidebar, select More actions (•••), then Space settings.

  2. Select Space details.

  3. Select the icon next to a category label to delete it.

  4. Select Save.

If you remove all spaces from a category, the category will no longer appear in the Space Directory. There's no way to bulk remove a category. You can choose the category in the Space Directory to find all the spaces it appears on, then remove it from each space.
