Space shuttle

Space shuttle simplifies the navigation between spaces in Confluence.

The app creates a new drop down menu in the Confluence header which will be used as a shortcut to individual spaces or external links.

Once set up, the Space shuttle is visible for every user in Confluence.

The spaces can be divided into categories and sub-categories
