A Space is where collaboration happens in Niv. Think of it as its own world: a completely separate knowledge base with its own members, notes, and subscriptions. Spaces let you keep contexts clean and focused—no overlap, no clutter.
Why Spaces Matter
Stay organized: Keep personal notes separate from team projects
Manage permissions: Each space has its own members and roles
Control subscriptions: Billing is tied to spaces, so each team pays only for its own use
Switch contexts easily: Jump between personal, work, and side projects without mixing them up
How Spaces Work
Completely separated: Notes, members, and settings in one space are invisible to another
Subscription per space: Each space has its own subscription, with pricing based on seats (users with access)
Context clarity: Every space is like its own second brain—perfect for keeping different projects or groups completely distinct
Common Ways to Use Spaces
Individuals
Personal Space: Keep your private notes and experiments here
Side Project Space: Spin up a separate environment for hobbies or research
Teams
Work Space: Collaborate with your colleagues, manage projects, share documentation
Client Space: Create a dedicated environment for each client or partner, ensuring privacy and focus
Community Space (coming soon): Host a group knowledge base for people outside your core team
Subscription Model
Each space has its own subscription
Pricing is based on seats per user (how many people are in the space)
No sharing subscriptions across spaces—each one is self-contained
This means your personal space can stay free or minimal, while your company’s space can scale with as many seats as needed.
Pro Tips
Separate by context: Don’t mix personal notes with team work—create a new space instead
Use clear names: Label spaces by purpose (“Marketing Team”, “Client – Acme Corp”) so switching is intuitive
Control access carefully: Invite only who needs to be in that space—everyone sees everything inside it
Start fresh when needed: A new project? Just create a new space, no baggage from old work
