# Manage Spaces and collections

Create and organize Spaces and Collections to hold your structured QA data.

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is being gradually rolled out to customers.
{% endhint %}

## Create a Space

1. In the sidebar, open the **Spaces** tab.
2. Select **Create Space**.
3. Enter a name for the Space.
4. Choose a starter template, or select **Blank** to start with just a Title field.
5. Select **Create Space**.

The Space opens immediately with one Collection already created based on the template you chose.

## Rename a Space

1. Open the Space you want to rename.
2. Select the Space name menu (⋯) at the top of the sidebar.
3. Select **Rename**.
4. Enter the new name and confirm.

## Delete a Space

1. Open the Space you want to delete.
2. Select the Space name menu (⋯) at the top of the sidebar.
3. Select **Delete space**.
4. Confirm the deletion.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Deleting a Space hides it and all its Collections, but the data is recoverable. Contact support if you need to restore a deleted Space.
{% endhint %}

## Add a collection

1. Open the Space where you want to add a Collection.
2. Select **Add collection** at the bottom of the sidebar.
3. Enter a name for the Collection and confirm.

## Rename a collection

1. In the sidebar, hover over the Collection name and select the menu (⋯).
2. Select **Rename**.
3. Enter the new name and confirm.

## Archive a collection

1. In the sidebar, hover over the Collection name and select the menu (⋯).
2. Select **Archive collection**.
3. Confirm the action.

{% hint style="info" %}
Archiving hides the Collection and all its rows, but the data is retained and can be recovered.
{% endhint %}

## Viewing connections in a Space

1. Open the Space you want to inspect.
2. On the Space overview, click **View connections**.
3. On the **Connections** screen, review the linked rows and collections in that Space.
4. Use the search box to filter rows or collections.
5. Click the back button to return to the Space overview.

## Manage workflows in a Space

1. Open the Space you want to work in.
2. In the **Workflows** section on the Space overview, choose one of the following.
   * Click **Create workflow** to start a new workflow that is linked to this Space.
   * Open the add menu next to **Create workflow**, click **Link existing workflow**, and then select a workflow from the current workspace.
3. Review linked workflows from the same **Workflows** section.
4. To remove a linked workflow from the Space, open that workflow's menu and click **Unlink**.

## Edit schema (columns)

Customize the columns of a Collection by editing its schema.

1. Open the Collection whose schema you want to edit.
2. Select **Edit columns** (pencil icon near the column headers).
3. In the schema editor:
   * Select **Add field** to add a new column. Enter a label and choose a type.
   * Select an existing field to rename it, change its type, mark it as required, or edit its options (for Select fields).
   * Drag a field to reorder it.
   * Select **Archive** on a field to hide it without deleting its data.
4. Select **Save schema** to apply changes.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Some schema changes affect existing data. When you save, the editor lists any risks — for example, changing a field's type may cause existing values to display incorrectly, and archiving a sub-collection field hides its nested data permanently (it cannot be restored from the editor). Review these warnings before confirming.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.genesis.autify.com/spaces/manage-spaces.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
