Update Space settings safely

Space settings control shared identity and owner-level actions for the active Space. Review the impact before changing a setting that can affect every member.

Use Space settings to:

  1. Update the Space avatar, name, and timezone.
  2. Review the current Space owner.
  3. Transfer ownership to another member.
  4. Archive, unarchive, or delete the Space when the owner action is available.
  5. Troubleshoot hidden, disabled, or unsaved settings.

Terms you may see:

  • Space settings are shared and can affect every member.
  • Owner-only actions are intentionally restricted because they can transfer control or remove access.
  • App Settings are separate and control app areas, task fields, CRM options, point values, and time tracking.
  • Member roles still control who can view, edit, delete, or manage work.

For a field reference, see Understand Space settings fields and owner actions.

Before you start

  • You must be the Space owner for avatar, name, timezone, transfer, archive, unarchive, and delete actions.
  • You must be online to save shared Space changes.
  • Some actions may be hidden if the current plan or Space state does not allow them.

How Space details apply

  1. Open Settings.
  2. Open General or the Space settings area.
  3. Review avatar, name, timezone, owner, and Danger Zone actions.
  4. Update one setting at a time.
  5. Confirm the result in the header, Space selector, or affected page.

Expected outcome: The Space identity and owner-level state are updated intentionally, with no accidental access or recovery impact.

Rename or rebrand a Space

  1. Confirm the active Space in the header.
  2. Open Settings > General.
  3. Update the Space name or avatar.
  4. Wait for the update to finish.
  5. Ask another member to refresh if they still see the old name or image.

Change the Space timezone

  1. Open Settings > General.
  2. Select the timezone field.
  3. Choose the intended timezone.
  4. Confirm date-sensitive pages such as calendars, reminders, task dates, and dashboards still make sense.

Transfer ownership safely

  1. Confirm the next owner is an active Space member.
  2. Open Danger Zone.
  3. Expand Transfer ownership.
  4. Select the next owner.
  5. Confirm the action.
  6. Ask the new owner to refresh and check owner-only controls.

Archive, unarchive, or delete a Space

  1. Open Danger Zone.
  2. Choose the action that matches the intent.
  3. Read the confirmation text.
  4. Confirm only when the impact is clear.
  5. Expect the app to move away from the Space after archive or delete actions.

Troubleshooting

A Space field is disabled

  • Symptom: You can see a field but cannot change it.
  • Cause: The action may require the Space owner, an online connection, or a supported Space state.
  • Resolution:
    1. Confirm you are online.
    2. Confirm you are the Space owner.
    3. Ask the current owner to make the change or transfer ownership.

Danger Zone is missing

  • Symptom: Transfer, archive, unarchive, or delete actions are not visible.
  • Cause: The action may be hidden by ownership, plan availability, or Space state.
  • Resolution:
    1. Confirm the active Space.
    2. Confirm you are the owner.
    3. Ask an owner/admin to confirm whether the action is available.

A Space name or avatar does not update for other users

  • Symptom: You see the new value, but another member sees the old value.
  • Cause: Their app may not have synced yet.
  • Resolution:
    1. Ask the member to refresh.
    2. Confirm their connection is online.
    3. Recheck after sync completes.

FAQ

Should I archive or delete a Space?

Archive when the Space may be needed later. Delete only when the Space should be removed and the recovery impact is understood.

Can a non-owner change the Space name?

No. Shared Space identity fields are owner-only in the current settings page.

Are App Settings controlled here?

No. App Settings are a separate settings page for app areas, task fields, CRM options, point values, and time tracking.
