# Spaces Overview

ImportantSpaces Apps are no longer supported by ThreatConnect, but legacy Spaces Apps may be used on a case-by-case basis.

ThreatConnect® Spaces create analytic panes that can run and display up to four Apps in a single, convenient place. They are a great way to extend the capabilities of the user interface and to work with popular third-party tools and products to bring their capabilities directly into ThreatConnect.

There are three types of Spaces in ThreatConnect: Central Spaces, Menu Spaces, and Contextually Aware Spaces. [Central Spaces](/docs/central-spaces) and [Menu Spaces](/docs/menu-spaces) are used with Apps that can be applied across ThreatConnect, and they are accessed via the **Spaces** option on the top navigation bar. [Contextually Aware Spaces](/docs/contextually-aware-spaces) are used with Apps that apply only to a specific type of Indicator or Group, and they are accessed via the [**Spaces** tab of the legacy **Details** screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-details-screen-legacy#spaces-tab) for an object.

ImportantBefore you can add an App to a Space, a System Administrator must install the App. System Administrators may install Spaces Apps from the **TC Exchange****™ Settings** screen by selecting **Apps** from the **Type** dropdown at the upper left of the screen and **Spaces Apps** from the **App Type** dropdown next to the **Type** dropdown. See the “TC Exchange Settings Screen” section of *ThreatConnect System Administration Guide* for more information.
