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.

Clearing workspaces

To remove all the projects from the current workspace:
