You can organize workspaces in several ways. You can create and rename workspaces, switch between them and load them from a file. You can also quickly remove all the projects from a workspace.

You can have only one active workspace at a time.

Creating a new workspace

To create a new workspace:

  1. Select File > Workspace > New Workspace.

  2. The New Workspace dialog will appear.

    The New Workspace dialog
  3. Specify the workspace name in the dialog. Click OK.

  4. Specify a directory to store your workspace file.

Renaming workspaces

To rename the current workspace:

  • Select File > Workspace > Rename Workspace.

  • The Rename Workspace dialog will appear.

To switch between existing workspaces:

  1. Select File > Workspace > Switch Workspace.

  2. Browse to the needed workspace file. Select it and click Open.

If you have unsaved projects in the current workspace, you will see the Switch Workspace dialog.
