What is a Space and Who Can See It?

This lesson will describe what spaces are and how you can use them to distribute and control access to your ScreenSteps Live content.

A Space Contains Your Content

A Space contains Manuals and/or Buckets.

A Space Displays Your Content

Non-admin/author users can only see your content when it is placed in a space. For example, if you have a manual, your customers will only be able to see it when you place it in a space.

This gives you a very simple way to target your ScreenSteps Live content to a specific audience.

For example, you may have lessons for Product A, Product B and your internal documentation. You could setup three spaces:

• One for users of Product A (contains manuals that pertain to Product A)
• One for users of Product B (contains manuals that pertain to Product B)
• One for employees (contains manuals and buckets that pertain to your employees

A Space Controls Who Can Author Content

You can control who can create content and what content they can edit on your ScreenSteps Live account by assigning editor and author users to a space

A Space Controls Access to Your Content

You can mark each space as public or protected. If a space is protected then users will need to have reader account that is assigned to that space before they can access any of its contents.

A Space Controls the Look of Your Content

Each space can have its own custom template, allowing you to completely control the look and feel of your documentation.

A Space Can Contain Custom Navigation

You can also add custom navigation to a space, allowing you to include links to your main site, your online store, customer forums, etc.
