View and Access Spaces (v 1.1)

Introduction 

The Space Navigator contains all digital Spaces of a company and displays them as single "Space Cards" in the main part of the webpart in SharePoint Online. Here all Spaces are included, showing the total number of Spaces in brackets. By default no filters are active.

1. The Space Navigator offers the possibilty to search and filter for existing Spaces - see Filter Spaces. 
2. The user can explore all Spaces, find relevant ones and enter a Space via different icons representing the assigned tool ecosystems (e.g. Jira, Confluence, Teams or SharePoint) - see AccessSpaces.
3. Every Space can provide more detailed information like metadata and keywords. They are available in the right pane by clicking "Details" in the Space Card - see Space Details.

Pin and unpin Spaces

SINCE VERSION 1.1

Every user can pin and unpin his most frequently used Spaces using the Pin button on the top right corner of the Space Card. The pinning is done in the scope of the current user so every user will have his own pinned Spaces. Pinned Spaces will always be displayed on top of your Space results to make it easier for you to access these Spaces. 

Clicking the Pin button on an unpinned Space will pin the Space (and change the icon to "Pinned"). If the Space is already pinned you can unpin it by cklicking again on the button.

Navigate through pages

Using the "Sort by" dropdown you can select the desired sort order.
