Spaces, pages & handbooks

Build a navigable knowledge structure, from departmental spaces to step-by-step handbooks.

Editors & Space Admins5 min read

Use a space for a team or subject, pages for individual topics, and a handbook when readers should move through connected chapters. A useful structure makes knowledge easier to find and maintain.

Before you start

  • Editor access to the destination space.
  • An agreed outline and an administrator-approved location for new content.

Choose the right structure

  • Space: a home for related knowledge with its own membership and settings.
  • Page: a single procedure, policy or reference topic, optionally nested beneath a parent page.
  • Handbook: a cover page with child chapters for ordered training or long-form guidance.

Build a handbook

  1. 1Create content in the destination space and choose Handbook as its type.
  2. 2Write a cover that introduces the subject and submit it for approval.
  3. 3After the cover is approved, create chapters as child pages beneath it.
  4. 4Submit chapter revisions for review, then check the published cover and chapter navigation.

Troubleshooting

A chapter is not under the handbook

Check its parent page in the editor. Moving a page and its children takes effect after the change is approved.

A page is missing from a tile list

Check publication status, source page or labels, and the reader's permissions.
