Space Settings¶
Since the workspace rework, an individual space's settings are managed inside the space itself — no longer via a dedicated page in the Governance hub. Open the space and switch on Manage mode in the header; the Settings tab then appears.
Access¶
- Open the space (e.g. from the Spaces overview).
- Switch on Manage mode in the header (visible to the space's responsible managers — owners and moderators — and to hub admins while the space has no owner).
- Select the Settings tab.
The Settings tab is a single, sectioned surface. Which sections appear depends on your permission — without the matching role a section simply isn't shown.
Roles in a space¶
Every space has an ascending role ladder: Guest → Member → Moderator → Owner (shown as "Verantwortliche(r)" in the German UI). Whoever creates a space automatically becomes its first owner; further owners are appointed by a hub admin from the Governance area (up to 3 per space). While a space has no owner, the hub admin stands in as its responsible manager; once an owner exists, day-to-day management belongs to the owner and the admin governs the space only from the Governance area (lifecycle and owner assignment, see Spaces).
Sections¶
| Section | Visible to | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | Owner (admin stands in while the space has no owner) | Name, logo, welcome text / description |
| Access | Hub admin | Join mode, default member role (platform policy) |
| AI features | Hub admin (when AI is configured) | Per-space AI feature toggles |
| Invite codes | Hub admin (join mode "Invite") | Create and revoke invite codes |
Related management surfaces that are not part of Settings:
- Moderators and owners are managed in the Members tab (Manage mode) — a role change is a row action on the person. Appointing/removing moderators is an owner-level right.
- The code of conduct is edited on the Content manage tab (moderator-editable).
- Routing (areas, topic tags, match mode, and the hybrid combination OR/AND) lives in the dedicated Routing sub-area and is owner-level: routing curation is constitutional for the space.
- Archiving/deleting a space is done from Governance → Spaces — that page also describes what archiving, reactivating, and deleting each do.
Associated areas and routing
The areas maintained in the Routing sub-area determine which content from external sources is routed to this space. Content whose source area matches will automatically appear in this space's feed. See Routing Rules for details.
Users must already exist
A user can only be appointed as moderator or owner if they already have an account on the hub.
Muting a source¶
Sometimes a source fits in principle but brings your space too much noise. In the Routing sub-area you, as an owner, can mute individual sources: under Muted sources you pick a source from the list (only sources that have already routed content into your space appear) and mute it.
- Prospective only: From the moment you mute it, that source routes no new content into your space. Items already here stay — nothing is removed.
- Reversible any time: Unmute lets the source's future content arrive again.
- Your own source stays: Your space's native source (your own posts and events) cannot be muted.
- Why didn't something arrive? The explanation in the Routing sub-area shows when an item would have matched but was held back because you muted its source.
Discover¶
Auto-routing brings matching content into your space on its own. Sometimes, though, there are good items that don't quite meet your space's criteria and so never arrived. The Discover section in the Routing sub-area helps you, as an owner, find exactly those items: it shows items that are not yet in your space and lets you pull the fitting ones in with one click.
There are two ways to use it:
- Recommended for your space (empty search box): Leave the search box empty and Discover automatically suggests items that fit your space by content — ranked by similarity to your space's profile. This requires that AI features are set up on the hub and that your space has a profile; if not, you'll see a hint to type a search term instead — the title search keeps working.
- Title search (type a search term): Type a term and Discover searches the titles of the items that aren't in your space yet (limited to the recent past).
Each result shows the title, item type, publication date, the publisher (when available), a link to the original, tags, and a "Not in your space yet" flag. "Take into space" brings the item in; the row is then marked "In your space". "Load more" reveals further results.
Privacy in Discover
Discover never reveals which other space already has an item, nor the internal source label or an author identity — only the publisher. Other spaces' own posts do not appear here.
