Create and edit Spaces

Spaces are the highest organizational level of your Workspace and hold all of your Folders and Lists.

What you'll need

  • Spaces are included in all ClickUp plans.
    • Workspaces on the Free Forever Plan have access to 5 Spaces.
    • Workspaces on the Unlimited Plan and above have access to unlimited Spaces.
  • Guests cannot create, edit, or view Spaces.
  • On the Enterprise Plan, you can share Spaces with Teams.

Spaces

Some settings, like ClickApps, are implemented at the Space level. 

Other settings, like statuses, privacy, and Custom Fields, can be set at the Space level, but are overridden and further customized at levels below the Space. By default, all Folders and Lists inherit settings from their parent Spaces. 

The settings you choose when creating a Space can be changed anytime.

Spaces Home

View, show, and hide all the available Spaces in your Workspace using Spaces Home.
