2. The next screen will ask you to set the name, spacekey, and permissions for the space. When setting the spacekey, please be concise. You can change the permissions for a space later if needed. This is helpful if you want only yourself to be able to view the space while it is being worked on. Once the space is finalized, the permissions can be changed so that the space is able to be viewed by other users.

h1. Step 3: Create the Navigation Page
----

Once you have created your space and selected a layout, your space should look something similar to the following:

----

If there are multiple versions of a project, there should be a main project space (non version specific) and a separate space for each version. For example, there is a dorian, dorian11, dorian12, and dorian13 space for the Dorian project. The overview or home page and navigation page should be housed in the main project space (i.e. dorian). Any documentation or guides should be version specific and housed in its respective project version space (i.e. Developer's Guide for Dorian 1.3 is housed in the dorian13 space).

Each space will need its own Navigation page. To keep the navigation consistent and to enable easy editing of the navigation, create you navigation menu on the Navigation page in the main project space. Then, use \{include:SPACEKEY:Navigation} in all of the Navigation pages for each project version space. This will simply include the navigation from the main project space. Therefore, any changes that are made to the Navigation page in the main space will be reflected in the of the navigation project spaces.
