In a Quire workspace, each project will have five main spaces: **List**, **Sublist**, **Document**, **Chat**, and **Overview**. Each space helps teams manage tasks, collaborate efficiently, and track progress.

## List [Permalink](/content/guide/project-workspace/#list "Permalink"/index.html)

The **list** tab is the default project layout, showing tasks in a **hierarchical tree structure**. It lets you break ideas into actionable steps and organize your workflow efficiently.

You can add task details, including:

- [Assignees](/content/guide/set-assignee/index.html)
- [Start and due dates](/content/guide/set-date-time/index.html)
- [Tags](/content/guide/assign-tags/index.html)
- [Descriptions](/content/guide/descriptions/index.html)
- [Comments](/content/guide/comments/index.html)

**Tip:** Press `Ctrl` or `⌘` + `.` to toggle full-screen mode and view more tasks.

## Sublist [Permalink](/content/guide/project-workspace/#sublist "Permalink"/index.html)

A **[sublist](/content/guide/create-sublists/index.html)** is a **personalized or filtered view** of the same project. It helps team members focus on their tasks without getting lost in a large project list.

- Sublist can help create a focused view for **project members** or **External Team members** sharing the workload.
- Changes in a sublist **mirror the main List**. Reordering tasks in a sublist updates the main List automatically.

## Document [Permalink](/content/guide/project-workspace/#document "Permalink"/index.html)

The **[document](/content/guide/documents/index.html)** tab is a flexible space to capture notes, meeting minutes, or detailed project information.

- Create multiple documents per project.
- Share documents with all project members, selected members, admins, or external teams.
- Keep documents private if needed.

The **[chat](/content/guide/chat/index.html)** feature enables real-time project communication. Use it to:

- Brainstorm ideas
- Share updates
- Coordinate tasks with your team

Each chat channel is linked to a specific project, keeping conversations focused and organized.

The **[overview](/content/guide/project-overview/index.html)** tab provides a project dashboard with:

- Project progress stats

### Frequently Asked Questions [Permalink](/content/guide/project-workspace/#frequently-asked-questions "Permalink"/index.html)

#### What are the five main spaces in a Quire project workspace? [Permalink](/content/guide/project-workspace/#what-are-the-five-main-spaces-in-a-quire-project-workspace "Permalink"/index.html)

#### What is the difference between List and Sublist in Quire? [Permalink](/content/guide/project-workspace/#what-is-the-difference-between-list-and-sublist-in-quire "Permalink"/index.html)

**List** is the default project layout showing all tasks in a hierarchical tree. A [Sublist](/content/guide/create-sublists/index.html) is a personalized or filtered view, letting team members focus on their own work without being overwhelmed by the full list.

#### Why do tasks added in a sublist also appear in the main List view? [Permalink](/content/guide/project-workspace/#why-do-tasks-added-in-a-sublist-also-appear-in-the-main-list-view "Permalink"/index.html)

The sublist is a filtered view of the main List, so changes sync automatically. There is currently no way to prevent tasks in a sublist from appearing in the main List.
