The toolbar at the bottom of your Space provides access to key features in Gather. The features available to you in the toolbar depend on the type of Space you're in (Events or Remote Work) and on your user role.

Tip: You can easily tell if you are in an Events Space if you see an Info Board (signpost) icon) in the toolbar. If you do not see this icon, you are in a Remote Work Space.
Note: We are regularly developing and testing new features, so you may see some icons that are not reflected in all screenshots in the help center.
