The space directory allows you let you see and filter all the spaces visible to you within Columbia's Confluence instance. Spaces are places to collect pages with a common theme – you can request as many or as few spaces as you need – and you can find them all in the space directory.

Here are some tasks to get you comfortable using the space directory:

Visit the space directory – To get to the space directory, choose Spaces > Space directory in the Confluence header.
Choose the spaces you'll use the most – No doubt there'll be a space or two that you'll use on a regular basis. Click the star to the right of a space to make it appear under My Spaces on the dashboard.
Choose space categories – Once you're there, you'll see a list of all the spaces in your Confluence site. Choose the 'My Spaces' category on the left to see only the spaces you marked with a star. Then choose all spaces again.
Filter the list of spaces – Type part of a space name in the Filter field at the top right. That'll quickly narrow down the list of spaces if there are a lot of them.

You can also categorize spaces with labels you create yourself. We're not going to cover that here, but, if you'd like to know more, you can check out Categorizing Spaces.

Understanding and using the space directory will make it much easier to find pages and blog posts that are relevant to you.
