Give them a list of spaces to watch... where is this option?

Question

Hi, according to this article we can "Before your new starters log in to Confluence: Give them a list of spaces to watch". Where is the option to define this list ? If it based on popularity only, then it's not useful. For example I just come to create a new user and all proposed spaces to watch are related to our technical documentation because these are the spaces which have the most comments (and mainly draft ones) but these are not the ones I'd like the new users to watch. Moreover space names are truncated in this list, please enlarge this, it's unusable (optionally, please add the space description, title is not enough)

Thanks

See example below:

I have also created a feature request to correct the issue with truncated space names:

Hi Bruno,

As I discussed in our emails, it is in fact based on popular spaces, as is hinted on the blog post:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/1-november-2015-to-7-november-2015-785459990.html

For users visiting this publicly, I've created a feature request to be able to create your own list:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-39818

Please vote on the feature if you're in support of the feature. For more information on how we implement new features, please review our Implementation of New Features Policy.

Take care!

I believe it's based on popularity.
