Space, Folder, and List settings

Edit, share, duplicate, or favorite your Spaces, Folders, and Lists!

Settings menu options vary by Hierarchy level and permissions.

For example, Spaces and Folders have more options than Lists.

If you have Full edit permissions on one List and Edit permissions on another List, the settings available on each List will vary.
