Spaces
Spaces are the destinations and surfaces you publish: sites, apps, member portals, and landing pages. Each Space is scoped to your organisation and tied to routing (hostname, paths, and how the edge serves public traffic).
What a Space is
A Space is a named destination in your catalogue. It groups the pages, themes, and public routes that belong together. Operators switch between Spaces from the desk; the edge resolves host and path to the right Space when someone visits.
Spaces desk
Open Create → Spaces in the DXP (/dxp/create/spaces) to browse Spaces you can edit, see status at a glance, and jump into a Space’s pages and settings.
New Space wizard
Use Create → New Space (/dxp/create/space-new) to stand up a destination:
- Name the Space and choose how it fits your catalogue.
- Attach a domain or hostname you control.
- Verify ownership with the TXT record the wizard shows.
- Point traffic with the A record (or equivalent) so the edge can serve the Space.
Until DNS and verification complete, the Space stays off the public path; you can still author in draft.
Pages and canvas
Inside a Space you author pages as structured content blocks (headings, paragraphs, lists, sections, and extension types). The canvas editor is the source of truth for block data; HTML for the web is rendered at serve time, not stored as the canonical copy in the database.
Themes and public render
Each Space uses a theme for public HTML and CSS. Theme assets ship from the platform or CDN-shaped URLs depending on your deployment. After publish, the edge serves rendered views from its tiered cache and stays in sync with the engine.
Space settings
Per-Space brand, appearance, navigation, footer, modules, permalinks, and regional (display timezone) live under Spaces → Settings (/dxp/spaces/settings?host=…). See Space settings for the full card list and how Regional affects product sale windows.
When to use another Create area
- Library — media, documents, and fragments you reuse across Spaces and journeys.
- Drafts — private or in-flight work across modules before you publish.
- Pages and editor — canvas, publish, and history for Space routes.
- Products — when this Space sells goods or downloads.
