SharePoint Spaces has arrived

Last month Microsoft finally shipped the long awaited feature add-on to SharePoint - SharePoint Spaces.

SharePoint Spaces allows non-developer users to easily build mixed reality spaces that interact with SharePoint data.

SharePoint Spaces will work from the computer browser directly or with the user of VR headsets, in the following animation you can have an idea of how it looks like.

How to enable SharePoint Spaces

The steps described in this section will be only available once this feature gets released.

To allow the creation of site pages the site owner must enable the Spaces (Preview) feature doing the following:

1. Go to Settings and then Site information

2. Click on View all site settings

3. On the Site Settings page click on Manage site features under Site Actions

4. Enable the feature Spaces (Preview)

Once enabled, users will see a new option in the site’s new menu to create a SharePoint Space as illustrated in the following image.
