What is the character limit for a Spaces post, and what is included in the limit?
The character limit for a Spaces post is 20,000 characters. However, currently, the system counts images/links as multiple characters if the post contains links or images, so the character count is higher than expected. As the images are converted into HTML text, the system includes the characters in the final count.
If your post exceeds the character limit, you can try creating a separate page with all the info, including pictures and links. Then, share the link to that page in your Space post and an image, if you'd like to.
I deleted news posts migrated from News and Updates (old version) to Spaces to edit/update them and tried to re-migrate, but now they won't show up. How can I recover them?
Here's what you need to do to republish the unpublished page to Spaces: Go to News and Updates, open the page, scroll down to the bottom, and uncheck the 'Migrated to Spaces' checkbox. Now you can try migrating it to Spaces again. 👇🏽 It will restore the article.
Our homepage has a big section that says "Recent Posts" but nothing is posted. How do we make sure there is content there?

Alternatively, you can also click on Recent Posts which will take you to the feed. Here you can click on Create Post and add content for the Recent Posts. 👇🏽
