Generally, the easiest way to create your personal space is to follow the instructions described in Setting up your Personal Space. However, sometimes you may need to convert an existing global space into a personal space, particularly if you used Confluence before the introduction of personal spaces in version 2.2.

To convert a global space to a personal space, you require the following permissions:

To convert a global space to a personal space,

  1. Go to the global space and click the 'Browse Space' link. This is located at the top of every page in the space, and beside the space link on the Dashboard.
  2. Go to the tab 'Space Admin'. This tab is only displayed if you are a space administrator.
  3. Click the 'Edit Space' link in the left panel.
  4. In the 'Convert to Personal Space' section:

    • Choose whether to Update Links to pages in this space (recommended).
    • Choose the User whose personal space this global space will become.
    • Click the 'Convert Space' button.






Note that the ability to archive mail and import pages from disk applies only to global spaces, so the 'Mail' and 'Import' sections in the above screenshot do not appear in the 'Space Admin' tab for personal spaces. Please see Working with Spaces Overview for information about the differences between global spaces and personal spaces.
