Set up your space

Name, description, cover and picture, what counts toward storage, and where the rest of the settings live.

Last updated September 28, 2026

Space settings are behind Settings in the space sidebar. You need the Manage space permission to change them; owners and admins always have it.

Name, description and images

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Change the Name and the Description. The description is shown on the space's front page, so use it for the one line every new member should read.
  3. Click Add a cover to set the banner image, and click the picture to set the space's avatar. Both are optional.

What is in the other tabs

Storage

The space front page shows a Storage meter. It counts every file uploaded to the space and its groups, including attachments in messages. Deleting a file frees the room straight away.

Limits are hard stops rather than warnings: when a space is full, the next upload waits until something is removed or the plan is upgraded.

Leaving a space

Open the space's menu and choose Leave space. You can be invited again at any time. An owner cannot leave until they have handed the space to someone else with Transfer ownership on the People page.

Deleting a space

Delete space is at the bottom of Settings and is only available to the owner. It removes everything in the space for everyone and cannot be undone.
