# How do I create a Space?

###### Before You Start

* A Class Space is already set up for you when your account is created. You don't need to create one manually.
* You can create additional 1:1 Spaces and Group Spaces at any time.
* Want to learn the difference between space types? See [What is a Space?](https://spacesedu.crisp.help/en-ca/article/what-is-a-space-ghfrc)

###### Creating a 1:1 Space

A 1:1 Space gives each student a private space shared only with you. You don't need to create a separate space for each student. Selecting all students creates an individual 1:1 space for each one automatically.

1. Click **Spaces** at the top of your screen
2. Click **+ Create**
3. Select **1:1**
4. Click **Next**
5. Select **All Students** or choose individual students
6. Click **Next**
7. Customize the **Name** and **Description** of your space
8. Click **Save**

###### Creating a Group Space

A Group Space lets a subset of students collaborate together. You can assign students to groups automatically or manually.

1. Click **Spaces** at the top of your screen
2. Click **+ Create**
3. Select **Group**
4. Choose how to assign students:
    * **Automatically**: select the number of students per group
    * **Manually**: drag or select students into groups yourself
5. Click **Next**
6. Review the list of groups and edit as needed
7. Click **Next**
8. Customize the **Name** and **Description** of your space
9. Click **Save**

###### Navigating Back

To return to your main account homepage from inside a space, click the arrow button in the top left corner.

###### Good to Know

* Your Class Space is created automatically. You only need to create 1:1 and Group Spaces.
* Selecting "All Students" for a 1:1 space creates one private space per student in a single step.
* After creating a space, you can configure access and visibility. See [How can I update Space settings?](https://spacesedu.crisp.help/en-ca/article/how-can-i-update-space-settings-kcqm73)
* You can create multiple Group Spaces with different student combinations.
