Steps to reproduce

I wanted to leave a space, here called "Space". I clicked the "Explore Space" interaction as I remembered it brings up the generic space description and room list. Expected to see a "Leave" button. The button with three dots doesn't seem to bring up a menu as my next expectation.

After some searching, I managed to leave the space by right clicking it in the sidebar and choosing "Leave space".

Note, I'm only a member of the space with no special power, which probably explains not seeing any space settings either. This is also slightly confusing, since rooms have a settings panel visible always, even without power levels - you're just not able to change things. Now I can't even find the space internal room ID

Leaving a space works in the same way as leaving a room (from the left menu or settings), so re-tagging this as an enhancement as it would be a different interaction which needs design

I agree however one cannot access settings of a space unless one has power in the space. Possibly settings should always be visible read-only like for rooms?

Closing as this has changed to be more visible with the latest IA changes (#19527).

@jaywink if this is still not discoverable enough for you please re-open with amended screenshots. Thx!

I had the same feedback as @jaywink after the IA changes mentioned above -> #21715
