{% data variables.copilot.copilot_spaces %} let you organize the context that {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} uses to answer your questions. Sharing {% data variables.copilot.copilot_spaces %} helps your team:
|
||
|
||
* Avoid repeated explanations and handoffs.
|
||
* Stay aligned on how a system works or what’s expected.
|
||
* Learn from past work, documentation, and examples.
|
||
* Get better help from {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} with grounded, team-curated context.
|
||
|
||
## Use cases for team collaboration
|
||
|
||
* **Onboarding**: Share a space with key code, docs, and checklists to help new developers get started faster.
|
||
* **System knowledge**: Create a space for a complex system or workflow (like authentication or CI pipelines) that other people can reference.
|
||
* **Style guides or review checklists**: Document standards and examples in a space that {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} can reference when suggesting changes.
|
||
|
||
For example, a subject matter expert creates a space called “Accessibility Reviews” that includes your team’s internal accessibility checklist, product guidelines, and WCAG documentation. Developers can ask {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} questions directly in the space to ensure they're following the latest guidelines in their work.
|
||
|
||
## Sharing {% data variables.copilot.copilot_spaces_short %}
|
||
|
||
When you create a space, you can choose whether it’s owned by you or by one of your organizations. If you choose an organization:
|
||
|
||
* You can share the space with others in the organization, giving read access to all organization members.
|
||
* Other people with access can view the context, use {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} within the space, and ask questions.
|
||
|
||
If you choose to create a personal space, **you can't share it with others**.
|
||
|
||
To share a space with your organization:
|
||
|
||
1. In the top right corner of the space, click **{% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="kebab-horizontal" %}**, then click **{% octicon "share" aria-hidden="true" aria-label="share" %} Share**.
|
||
1. Change the base role to "The entire organization can access".
|
||
|
||
Other people in your organization can now view the space in the "Organizations" tab and use it to ask questions. Additionally, you can also click **{% octicon "link" aria-label="the link" %} Copy link** to copy the link to the space and share it with others.
|
||
|
||
## Accessing shared {% data variables.copilot.copilot_spaces_short %}
|
||
|
||
If you’re part of an organization that has shared spaces, you can access them in the **Organizations** tab on [https://github.com/copilot/spaces](https://github.com/copilot/spaces).
