Create a Space

In Assets, a space is the top-level container where you manage assets for a specific website, brand, or business unit.

To create a space, log in to your Contentstack account and perform the steps below:

1. Navigate to Assets through “App Switcher”.
2. Click + New and select Space.
3. In the New Space modal, enter the following details:
   • Name (required): Provide a clear, descriptive name for your space (e.g., “Marketing” or “Documentation”).
   • Description (optional): Add a short explanation of what the space will be used for (eg., “Assets for all marketing campaigns” or “Training and learning materials”).
4. Click Create.

Your space is now ready. You can start uploading assets, creating user-defined fields, and workspaces as needed.

Note When you create a new space, a main workspace is automatically created. This workspace acts as the primary workspace. You can create additional workspaces as forks of the main or any other workspace. These workspaces inherit assets and configurations from the source workspace, similar to how branches work in Git or CMS.
