This section covers fundamental platform-wide configurations. Administrators can manage Maintenance Messages, configure Custom Actions, recover Deleted Projects and Deleted Organizations, set a Custom Documentation URL, and control the Onboarding & Guidance experiences.

Maintenance Messages

You can configure and display maintenance messages to users. These messages can inform users of scheduled downtime, ongoing maintenance, or other important platform-wide notifications.

Maintenance messages settings page

Custom Actions

Configure custom actions that automate routine maintenance, such as deleting workspaces that have been inactive for a long time. Each action combines what runs, the conditions that decide which workspaces or users it applies to, and when it runs.

For the available actions, conditions, and scheduling options — including when to use When Condition Met — see Custom Actions.

Deleted Projects

You can recover a deleted project for a period of 7 days on the Deleted Projects tab. Press the Recover button to the right of the project you want to restore.

Recover a deleted project

Deleted Organizations

You can recover a deleted organization for a period of 7 days on the Deleted Organizations tab. Press the Recover button to the right of the organization you want to restore.

Documentation

By default, the platform links to the standard Citrix SecurSpaces™ documentation. You can replace this link with a custom documentation URL that points to your organization’s own documentation site.

When enabled, this change applies to all users across all projects and organizations. When you turn the setting off, the link reverts to the default Citrix SecurSpaces documentation.

Documentation settings with the custom documentation link disabled

To set a custom documentation URL:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Documentation.
  2. Turn on Enable custom documentation link.
  3. In the Custom Documentation URL field, enter the full web address of your documentation site, including https://.
  4. Click Apply.

Documentation settings with the custom documentation link enabled

To revert to the default SecurSpaces documentation, turn off Enable custom documentation link.

OpenVSX Marketplace

By default, VS Code workspaces in SecurSpaces use the public Open VSX marketplace for extension discovery and installation. You can override this with a custom OpenVSX marketplace URL so that developers only discover and install extensions from your organization’s approved marketplace.

This setting is configured at the platform level and is inherited by all organizations, projects, and workspaces. When enabled, new workspaces use the configured marketplace immediately. Existing workspaces use the new marketplace after their next restart.

OpenVSX Marketplace settings page with the custom marketplace enabled

To configure a custom OpenVSX marketplace:

  1. Go to Settings > General > OpenVSX Marketplace.
  2. Turn on Enable custom OpenVSX marketplace.
  3. In the Marketplace Base URL field, enter the base URL of your internal OpenVSX service, including https://.
  4. Click Apply.

To revert to the default public marketplace, turn off Enable custom OpenVSX marketplace.

Note:

Changes take effect immediately for new workspaces. Existing workspaces continue to use their current marketplace configuration until they are restarted.

Onboarding & Guidance

This section controls the onboarding experiences shown to new users and project owners. Three can be turned on independently:

Setting What it shows
User Onboarding Checklist A checklist on the developer’s overview page
Project Scaffolding Checklist A checklist on the project owner’s overview page
Classic User Journey The legacy welcome wizard shown at sign-in, focused on profile security settings

Note:

Turn on only the experiences your users need. Several overlapping flows at once can overwhelm a new user and dilute the value of each one.

Onboarding checklists

The two checklists give project owners and developers guided next steps from project pages. Each appears as a collapsible side panel and keeps progress as users move through the product.

The Project Scaffolding Checklist guides a project owner to:

  • Review container images.
  • Add code repositories.
  • Configure secrets.
  • Create workspace templates.
  • Add users.

The User Onboarding Checklist guides a developer to:

  • Review their profile.
  • Configure integrations.
  • Customize their configuration.
  • Set up security credentials.
  • Create a workspace.

To configure checklist availability:

  1. Go to Settings > General > Onboarding & Guidance.
  2. Turn Project Scaffolding Checklist on or off.
  3. Turn User Onboarding Checklist on or off.
  4. Select Apply.

Expected result: The selected checklist settings apply to project pages. Users keep their saved checklist progress unless the feature is disabled.
