01Open your profile menu
Move to the top right corner of your canvas and click your profile avatar icon.
02Add a personal space
Select the 'Add Personal Space' option from the expanded dropdown menu.
03Name and set your URL
Type a search-optimized space title and edit the default URL subdomain handle.
04Create your homepage
Click the Create button to instantly build your private homepage and sidebar directory.
05Verify your privacy settings
Click the lock permissions icon to confirm external users are excluded from your space by default.
06Build out your notes
Use inline slash commands to build personal goal boards, to-do lists, and draft documents, then publish to save your structure.
Frequently asked questions

Does a personal space use up my company's group license?
No, personal spaces are tied to your individual account and don't consume company group licenses.
Can I share a page from my personal space later?
Yes, once a draft is ready, you can adjust its permission settings to share it with specific stakeholders.
Can I organize multiple notes inside my personal space?
Yes, you can drag and rearrange your private notes into a nested parent-child sidebar structure to keep things scannable.
