Newbie here.. Let’s say there are 4 content sources defined in workplace, is it possible to have a workplace search page with sources 1, 2 & 3 and have another workplace search page with sources 3 & 4, and other search pages with different combinations of sources.

Hi @EJLegarda! Do you mean different sets of sources for the same user? That's not currently possible using the built-in workplace search UI. You can use the search API ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/current/workplace-search-api-overview.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/current/workplace-search-api-overview.html)) to build a custom UI with different sources.

If you want different sources for different users, you can make that happen in the built-in UI by using groups ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/current/workplace-search-groups-management.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/current/workplace-search-groups-management.html)).
