How to Use ClickUp ClickApps

ClickUp includes powerful ClickApps that let you turn features on or off so each Space matches the way your team works. This step-by-step guide shows you how to enable, configure, and manage these options without confusion.

What Are ClickUp ClickApps?

ClickApps are feature switches you can use to customize how work is done in your Workspace. Instead of having every feature turned on all the time, you choose what each Space needs.

With these options, you can:

Enable only the tools your team actually uses.
Keep Spaces simple for new users or complex for power users.
Change settings at any time as your processes evolve.

Each Space can have its own combination of features. This makes it easy to support different workflows inside the same ClickUp Workspace.

Where ClickUp ClickApps Can Be Used

You apply most settings at the Space level. Each Space can have unique configurations, while a smaller number of options are managed at the Workspace level only.

Workspace-level options in ClickUp

Certain options affect the entire Workspace and are managed by higher-level roles. Typical Workspace-level settings include:

Permissions that control who can change features.
Global behaviors that apply to all Spaces.
Security settings that must stay consistent.

These Workspace-level options ensure that company-wide standards stay in place while individual Spaces still get flexibility.

Space-level options in ClickUp

Most feature controls are Space-specific. For example, one Space can keep things minimal, while another can turn on every available feature.

Space-level configuration is ideal when you have:

Different teams with different processes.
Client-facing Spaces that need fewer details.
Internal teams that need advanced tracking and reporting.

Who Can Manage ClickUp ClickApps

Access to these settings is restricted by role. Only certain people in your Workspace can turn options on or off.

Workspace managers

In many cases, Admins or similar high-level roles manage which features are allowed. They ensure the overall configuration aligns with company policies.

These roles can usually:

Control global settings that apply to all Spaces.
Limit which options are available to lower roles.
Update defaults for new Spaces.

Space-specific managers

Owners or managers of a Space can typically adjust options for that Space, provided the Workspace-level settings allow it. This gives local control while still respecting global rules.

These roles can usually:

Turn Space-level features on or off.
Adapt settings when workflows change.
Keep their team’s environment clean and focused.

How to Open ClickUp ClickApps Settings

Depending on your role, you can reach the configuration panel from within a Space. The process usually starts from the Space menu.

Step-by-step: Open Space ClickApps

Open your Workspace and locate the Space you want to configure.
Select the Space name from the sidebar to open its settings menu.
Look for an option labeled something like “ClickApps” or “Space settings” where feature toggles are listed.
Click to open the panel that shows all available options for that Space.

Once the panel is open, you will see a list of features you can enable or disable.

How to Turn ClickUp ClickApps On or Off

Each feature is controlled by a simple toggle. You do not need to install anything; you just decide which options are active.

Enable a feature in a Space

In the Space settings panel, find the feature you want to enable.
Use the toggle or checkbox to turn it on.
Review any additional options that appear for that feature.
Save or confirm the changes if required.

Once enabled, the feature is available to everyone who has access to that Space.

Disable a feature in a Space

Open the same Space configuration panel.
Locate the feature you want to turn off.
Switch the toggle or uncheck the box.
Confirm any warnings about hiding or limiting previously used options.

Disabling a feature removes clutter, but the underlying data is often preserved so it can be shown again if you re-enable it later.

Best Practices for Configuring ClickUp Spaces

Before turning every feature on, think about how your team actually works. A clean Space makes onboarding easier and reduces mistakes.

Start simple

For a new team, it is usually better to keep only a few core features active:

Turn on only the options your team needs right away.
Introduce advanced features gradually.
Review usage after a few weeks and then add more options.

Match settings to each Space

Different Spaces can follow different rules. A client-facing Space might need fewer complex options than an internal operations Space.

To keep Spaces aligned with their purpose:

Use separate Spaces for different departments or clients.
Turn on time-saving features where tracking is critical.
Disable experimental options in Spaces that must stay stable.

Review ClickUp configuration regularly

As your organization grows, your needs will change. It is important to revisit the configuration on a regular schedule.

Audit which features are actually used.
Turn off anything that confuses users or adds noise.
Enable new options that support updated processes.

Next Steps to Optimize Your ClickUp Workspace

Now that you understand how these options work, choose one Space and review its configuration. Turn off anything unused, enable only what supports the team’s goals, and document the setup so others can follow the same approach in new Spaces.

By keeping each Space focused and intentional, your whole ClickUp Workspace becomes easier to manage, easier to train on, and better aligned to the way your teams actually get work done.
