What is a teamspace?
A teamspace is a collaborative area where you can organize your content and share it with others to edit, comment or view. Teamspaces are located in the bottom left corner of your sidebar.
Why use teamspaces?
Team collaboration: Teamspaces offer a shared space for team members to collaborate by sharing team-relevant content.
Organizing the homepage: by using teamspaces, you can organize content for specific teams, departments, or groups in one and the same place.
Content security: Teamspaces enhance content security by the different access levels, which can ensure that only members have access to the content within the teamspace. Read more about access levels below.
Promote shared learning: By facilitating easy content creation and sharing, Teamspaces encourage a decentralized learning approach with its members.
Teamspace use case examples
Project collaboration: A teamspace can be created for a specific project team, allowing members to share, access, and collaborate on relevant learning materials and resources related to the project.
Departments or Teams: A teamspace can be set up for specific roles within the company, such as "Sales Team" or "HR Team", where role-specific materials and courses can be shared and accessed by the relevant team members.
Content groups: you can also create a teamspace for specific types of content; such as a teamspace for operating manuals or for company policies. This makes the content easier to access.
Types of Teamspaces
There are two types of teamspaces.
Public Teamspaces: Open to all in the company, good for sharing and teamwork. These are browsable, by clicking on browse on the bottom of the global sidebar. Everyone can join them.
Invite-Only Teamspaces: Only certain people can join, if they are invited.
Teamspace members
Teamspaces members can be individuals or groups.
Members are assigned a user access level that applies to all the content within a teamspace.
For non-teamspace members, the content in a teamspace is not visible. However, they may have access to the content within if they have direct access to the content or an open link access/visibility

Move content to or from a teamspace
You can move content to a teamspace in multiple ways
Directly from the teamspace, by clicking the arrow next to "New". Choose "Import content" and move whichever courses you would like. This option suits well when wanting to bulk import content you have access to into the teamspace.
2. From the editor view of content via the 3 dot-menu and "Move"
3. By dragging-and-dropping content from your Homepage.
💡 Note! Content can only belong to one teamspace at a time. Meaning, if you from the dropdown move content to one teamspace from another, it will disappear from the first one. You will get a confirmation question on this which you will have to accept before confirming the move of the content.
Watch the video below which demonstrates how you can easily move courses to teamspaces.
Who can move content?
