Ability to Disable a Space

I propose a setting in the Space configuration, to disable a space, without deleting it.

use case:
I have different spaces that are not ‘production spaces’ because they are being tested, developed or tried out after being imported from space templates.

Benefit of disabling spaces, is that all databases from these disabled spaces will be automatically excluded from normal search, ai search and ai chatbot knowledge. Ideally this needs a solution such that re-indexing would not be necessary when re-enabling the space, to prevent costs.

Also, there will be a tag or separate section where these spaces are grouped.

Given that

  • databases can be excluded from search
  • spaces can be hidden from non-admins using permissions
  • dbs need to be opted in to ai search/chatbots
  • spaces can be moved to the ‘hidden’ area of the left menu

I think it is unlikely that we would introduce a specific setting to ‘disable/enable’ a space.
