Intro to location header

The location header lets you quickly make changes to any Space, Folder, or List in your Workspace. 

Docs and Whiteboards do not have a location header.

Location overview is available on ClickUp 3.0.

Use the location header

By default, the location header is collapsed at the top of the page in Spaces, Folders, and Lists. Click the Expand header icon in the upper right to expand the location header.
