What the Spaces page is

A Space is a collaborative workspace that groups related meetings, documents, action items, and insights for a project, team, customer, or initiative. It's Thout's way of keeping everything about that project in one place, so nothing gets lost between conversations.

Creating a Space Ask your CoS

Ask your CoS

The Ask your CoS panel sits on the right of the Spaces page (and other pages) as your always-available assistant for quick answers about your work. Quick-action pills like Today's focus, Last week, and Overdue stuff give instant answers, or you can type a free-form question into the Chat with CoS... box.

What are my primary focus items for today?

Critical — Overdue Action Items

Confirm packaging timeline with Meridian Packaging

2 days overdue · Spring Launch

TODAY'S FOCUS

Review retail partner terms before Thursday's call, and follow up with Jordan on the influencer seeding list.

Asking "What are my primary focus items for today?" returns a categorized rundown, starting with overdue critical items.

Answers are organized by priority, with items like Critical — Overdue Action Items called out with a status marker and how overdue they are. Use the copy icon above a response to copy it elsewhere.

Tip: Ask your CoS on the Spaces page answers across all your work, not just one Space. For a full walkthrough of pills, free-form prompts, @mentions, and chat history, see the Chat with your CoS guide.

Spaces tips & FAQ

What's the difference between a Space and a meeting?

A meeting is a single conversation; a Space is a container that can hold several related meetings, files, and notes for an ongoing project or team.

Can more than one person work in a Space?

Yes — Spaces are built for collaborating with others, not just for personal notes.

What happens if I delete a Space?

Delete space permanently removes it from the Spaces page, so use it only once you're sure the Space is no longer needed.

Does Ask your CoS only answer about the current Space?

No — the Ask your CoS panel on the Spaces page answers across your work in general. Use Chat with space from a card's menu if you want an answer scoped to just that Space.

Why are some items marked as overdue?

Ask your CoS flags action items that have passed their due date as Critical, showing how many days overdue they are so you can prioritize them first.
