IMPORTANT: To access the References across spaces feature, you must first enable orchestration for the spaces you want to link content across. For more information on how to enable spaces for orchestration in the web app, see About content orchestration.
To access the References feature:
Log into the Contentful web app.
Navigate to the "Home" tab.
Click Manage references. The "Content model" tab is displayed.
You can use references across spaces in the web app, or using the Content Management API.
