Accessign spaces in Share

Hi everyone,I hope you have patience with me for asking a dumb question, it seems so obvious but the documentation on the internet is not so forthcoming.I have just installed Alfresco 4 for an evaluation. I have bought a book simply called "alfresco" to try and make sense of all of the descriptions

Simply speaking, spaces are folders. For some reason in the past they were named "spaces" within the Explorer client.

Folders within Share map directly to Spaces within Explorer. Share used to only handle SIte-based folders (i.e. those under the "Sites" top-level folder within Explorer) but also allows the entire Company Home area to be browsed using the "Repository Browser".

Rules (and properties for that matter) applied to folders via Explorer will fire for content added using Share - and vice versa.

Does that help at all?

Thanks,
Mike

If you want to use share then stick your "super space" within a site.

So create a site using share and then if you still want to use explorer put "super space" in company_home/sites/<siteName>/documentLibrary/Super Space.

Or just use share to create "super space".
