General UX for subpages and Confluence-like Spaces to group notes together

[jasper-vdhoven]

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem or unsupported use case? Please describe.
It is difficult to quickly identify notes that are related to each other as there does not appear to be some sort of global hierarchy for all notes.

Describe the solution you'd like
The concept of "Spaces" in Confluence could help categorise notes which have a similar topic. When then selecting this space, a document tree could show the notes that exist within it. An alternative could be the addition of "Properties" similar to Obsidian to add tags to search on.

The main drawback would be permissions, as this would add both space permissions as well as individual page and subpage permissions to manage within the space.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The main way right now is to search on titles, but that requires users to create consistent titles.

Discovery, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy

The general space hierarchy tree could look the following:

Tags could look the following on a specific page:

Which would allow users to search for pages with similar tags:

Do you want to work on it through a Pull Request?
No, I am not a developer familiar with the stacks in use on this project.

This issue is created because working with subpages right now is a little unclear/ infuriating. From the "All docs" page it is not communicated that this document has subpages:

This is only revealed when clicking on the document:

The way the initial document works right now is sort of like a space, but as there is no indicator that this page has sub pages, or acts like a collector for further pages makes the experience sub-optimal. The addition of terminology such as a "space" that can have notes below it would already clear this up somewhat to me.

Hello @jasper-vdhoven
Thanks for your issue.
We plan to make it easier to find subdocs
Check this issue : #677
We’re having discussions around how we aply that same logic to the doc indexes.
We’re also discussing tags. But it’s still early and other features have priority.
I’m turning this into a discussions has it raises many ideas than proposing a single improvement.
Cheers
