Spaces let you keep different parts of your memory organized and separate. Save into the Space that matches the context, and search stays scoped to what you actually want back.
## What a Space is
A Space is a named container inside your Personal Brain. Common ways people split them:
- **Personal** for life, notes, and reading
- **Work** for your job in general
- **Research** for a topic you're going deep on
- **A client** you're working with
- **A coding project** you switch in and out of
## What a Space affects
- **Where content is saved** when you add something new
- **The scope of search** when you look something up
- **What a connected tool can see** when it saves or recalls on your behalf
## Create and select a Space
<Steps>
<Step title="Create a Space">
From the Space selector in Personal Brain, create a new Space and give it a name that matches how you'll use it.

Optionally, tell Nova what matters in this Space so it shapes which memories get extracted.

</Step>
<Step title="Select the active Space">
Switch to the Space you want before you save or search. New content goes into the active Space.

</Steps>
## Spaces and Projects
Some coding tools use the word **Project** for a selected memory workspace. When you set up one of those tools, the Project you choose is how that tool refers to the Space it's pointed at.
## Moving, merging, and deleting
When you delete a Space, the app can offer to move its data to another Space before deletion so you don't lose what's inside.
<Warning>
Don't delete a Space until you've confirmed the destination. Once a Space is deleted without moving its data, that content is gone.
</Warning>
## Connected tools
Each connected tool saves and recalls against a specific workspace. When you set up an integration or switch which Space it uses, confirm the selected workspace inside that tool so its saves and searches land where you expect.
