New Space types
There are now four different wikispace types. These types are intended for different kind of collaboration.
- Blank Space - the default blank space without any ready made features
- Documentation Space - a space with ready made features for documenting
- Knowledge Space - a space for faq:s resources and best practises
- Team space - a space design for project teams and collaboration teams
If you are not sure of what you will be doing with your wikispace, or if your intended use does not fit the predesigned layouts,
it's best to start with a blank space.
