Select and Switch Spaces

A space is where you keep notes, workboards, and files together. If you work with several teams or projects, switch spaces to keep each space's material separate.

Check the Current Space

1. Click Space in the icon bar to open the notes and workboards screen.
2. The current space name appears at the top of the sidebar. On mobile, it appears at the top center of the screen.
3. The note and workboard tree below is shown for the current space.

✋ Note: When you switch spaces, the notes, workboards, and Files list change too.

Switch to Another Space

1. Click the space name at the top of the sidebar. On mobile, tap the space name at the top center of the screen.
2. Select the space you want from the list. Sub-spaces appear indented under their parent space.
3. The screen switches to the note list of the space you selected.
4. If needed, reopen the document you were working on from recent items or search.

💡 Tip: You can also switch spaces from Home in the icon bar. Click a space icon in the list to open that space's notes screen.

💡 Tip: When you open a shared note link, Recoble tries to switch to the space that contains that note.

Open Space Settings

You can open space settings from the list that appears when you click the space name.

1. Click the space name to open the list.
2. Click Space settings at the top of the list.
3. Review the settings in tabs such as General, Members, and Sub-spaces. The tabs you see can differ depending on your permissions.

💡 Tip: The top of the same list also has New Space, New Sub-Space, and Invite members buttons. They appear only if you have permission.

Learn About Sub-spaces

You can add a sub-space inside a space. Sub-spaces go only one level deep.

1. Switch to the parent space.
2. Click the space name to open the list.
3. Click New Sub-Space to create one.

✋ Note: A sub-space follows the plan of its parent space. That is why you do not see the Upgrade button in a sub-space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the note I am writing disappear if I switch spaces?

No. The note is saved in its space. Select that space again to keep editing.

A space I was invited to is not in the list.

Make sure you accepted the invite link. If you only received an invite code, click Join Space at the bottom of the Home screen and enter the code. If it still does not appear, refresh or sign in again.

I want to join a sub-space.

Go to Space settings › Sub-spaces in the parent space to join or request to join. Depending on the sub-space's join type, you join right away or wait for approval from the owner or an admin.

Can I keep personal and team work separate?

Yes. Use a personal space and a team space to manage notes and workboards separately.
