Hello,

I want to add a new document that will be displayed by default in all users' personal spaces. Currently, when a user login into CWM for the first time, their personal space contains a board named "Getting Started" and two documents, "Welcome to CWM," etc.

My requirement is to remove these documents and replace them with my own document and my own board by default.

Do you have any idea how I could implement this?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Hi Omar,
This will be customisation to script include - sn_cwm.CWMOnBoardingDocs.

Please note the structure/schema of docs content is very important, sensitive and prone to change as we add on more features to docs in future. Please carefully consider this before you create your own onboarding docs.
Hope this helps!

Best Regards,
Sunil B N
P.S: Again I request you to create independent Question for new query which will help others to find right answers and also encourage others to answer.
