You can select individual spaces from the spaces drop-down to view content from that space. Select All filters to display the filter pane. When the filter pane is active the All filters box is grayed out. The box displays the number of active filters.

You can view content in either the Tile Select tile icon for tile view or List Select list icon for list view view.

Browse section of the hub

Spaces

Spaces are areas where apps and other content are stored. Spaces can be personal, shared, or managed.

All users have a personal space where apps they create are stored by default. Personal spaces are private. You can share your personal content by moving them to a shared space.

Users with the Shared Space Creator role can create shared spaces. Shared spaces are private when first created. Shared spaces allow collaborative development of apps and other content. Spaces also limit access to apps in the space. Access to apps in the space is granted by adding members to the space.

Managed spaces can be created by tenant or analytics administrators, or users with the Managed Space Creator role. Managed spaces are used to provide strictly controlled access to apps that might have sensitive data. Apps are developed in other spaces and then published to the managed space.

You can select spaces to which you have access from the drop-down in Browse.
