Create a space

How to create a new space in CADchat.

Before you start

You need to belong to an organization. If you don't see an organization in the sidebar, contact your admin.


Create a space

  1. In the sidebar, click your organization name to open the organization page.
  2. Click the purple Create a Space card.
  3. In the Create a New Space modal, fill in the fields:
    • Pick an Organization: Pre-filled with your current org. Change this if you belong to multiple organizations. (Required)
    • Name Your Space: Give your new workspace a name. (Required)
    • Invite Others: Add collaborators by email address. You are set as owner by default. You can always add collaborators later.
  4. Click Create Space. The space opens immediately.

You can also create a space from the Dashboard by clicking Create a Space next to the Recently Visited Spaces heading.


Tips and edge cases

  • New spaces are empty. No files or members are added automatically beyond those invited during creation.
  • Spaces are private by default. Only people you invite can access them.
  • You can rename a space after creation from the space card menu or from Space Settings.
  • If the Create a Space card isn't visible, check that you have permission to create spaces in that organization.
