# Creating a Space

{% hint style="info" %}
This is applicable to users connecting to either: archive.cryoserver.online or eu.cryoserver.online.  Not for on-premises or other .cloud environments.  To learn more about switching to the new .online environments please contact your Account Manager or email <sales@cryoserver.com>
{% endhint %}

Spaces are a whole new feature in some of the Cryoserver.online environments. Spaces allow you to organize and store emails that you have found in your archive. Spaces are a particularly helpful tool for legal cases, compliance, storing emails, and sharing emails with others around your organization.

{% hint style="info" %}
*Think of spaces as a secure folder on your computer*
{% endhint %}

1. To create a space, navigate to the "Spaces" page located on the main navigation at the top of the interface. Once on the spaces page, you will see a large button in the top right "Create Space".<br>
2. After you have clicked "Create Space" you will be presented with a dialog box that will ask you what you would like the space to be named as well as a description for your space. You will also notice that you can copy the permanent link to this space which you can use to quickly navigate to your space.<br>
3. Once you've filled in the details of your space and clicked "Create" you will now see the newly formed space on your page.<br>
4. Now that your Space has been created, you'll be able to search the archive and add entries into the space for safe keeping.

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also use a space to request "Legal Holds" as well as "Authorised Delete"
