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

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.
