To start managing content types across the selected spaces, click Manage content models. For more information, see Content model templates.

NOTE: For content model templates, you need to enable Orchestration for each space you would like to install templates into. The content types that populate the template can come from any space.

To link content across the selected spaces, click Manage references. For more information, see Cross-space references.

NOTE: For Cross-space references, you need to enable the space for orchestration first if you want to add a field that can reference content from other spaces. When enabled, you can select any space in your organization in which you have read permissions (minimum required permission).
