Release Notes
Updated Spaces
Spaces has been rebuilt as the central home for all of a lawyer's work on a matter or project.
Important: This feature is rolling out in phases from October 14 through October 28, 2026. If you have questions about when this update will land in your workspace, contact your Customer Success Manager.
What’s New
Spaces have been updated to better reflect how lawyers work. A Space is now the single home for everything related to a matter: the matter's background, people, queries, documents, agent activity, tasks and phases can live in in one place.
Key Features
- Updated Spaces UI: Spaces has been redesigned to make it easier to start or return to previous work.
- Space Context: Space Admins can add context to a Space to help Harvey understand the parties, background, goals, and standing instructions for the project.
- Tasks: Ask Harvey to create, assign, and update tasks in a Space using natural language. Assign work to a colleague, to Harvey, or to a custom agent, and track it through to completion without leaving the Space.
- Phases: Group related tasks into clear stages so your team can organize work and track progress at a glance.
- Matter-Specific Spaces: Law firms can now tie a Space to a specific client matter (CM#) so that ethical walls and access controls apply automatically to everything inside; in-house teams can create project-specific Spaces and control what's visible internally versus externally.
- Notifications: Notifications keeps Space task assignments, status updates, comments and mentions in one place.
- Updated Assistant Composer: You can now query a Space you’re a member of from Assistant by attaching it via the Work in selector.
Why It Matters
Updated Spaces gives you a single, matter-centered home for documents, context, queries, agent work, tasks, and collaborators, so you spend less time recreating background or searching across tools.
You can also associate a Space with a client matter, allowing relevant access controls and ethical walls to apply consistently while your team tracks work from start to finish.
