Managing workspaces

Choose a workspace

Each Adobe video and audio application includes several predefined workspaces that optimize the layout of panels

for specific tasks. When you choose one of these workspaces, or any custom workspaces you’ve saved, the current

workspace is redrawn accordingly.

❖ Open the project you want to work on, choose Window > Workspace, and select the desired workspace.

Save a custom workspace

As you customize a workspace, the application tracks your changes, storing the most recent layout. To store a specific

layout more permanently, save a custom workspace. Saved custom workspaces appear in the Workspace menu,

where you can return to and reset them.

❖ Arrange the frames and panels as desired, then choose Window > Workspace > New Workspace. Enter a name for

the workspace, and click OK.

Note: If a project saved with a custom workspace is opened on another system, the application looks for a workspace with

a matching name. If it can’t find a match (or the monitor configuration doesn’t match), it uses the current local

workspace.

Restore a workspace

You can remove changes made to a workspace, restoring its original layout.

❖ With the workspace you want to restore active, choose Window > Workspace > Reset Workspace, and then click

Yes to discard the changes.

Delete a workspace

1 Choose Window > Workspace > Delete Workspace.

2 Choose the workspace you want to delete, and then click OK.

Note: You cannot delete the currently active workspace.
