Choosing a workspace
CorelDRAW includes a collection of workspaces that are designed to help you increase your productivity. A workspace is a configuration
of settings that specifies how the various command bars, commands, and buttons are arranged when you open the application. You can
choose a workspace from the Welcome Screen, or you can switch to a different workspace from within the application.
The specialized workspaces in CorelDRAW are configured according to specific workflows or tasks, such as page layout work or illustrating.
Their purpose is to make more accessible the tools that you use most often.
The following table describes the available workspaces.
Workspace Description
Lite This workspace makes CorelDRAW’s most commonly used tools
and features more accessible. If you are new to CorelDRAW, the
Lite workspace is ideal for getting started.

workspace. It is best suited for experienced CorelDRAW users
who are looking for a seamless transition to a modern yet familiar
environment in CorelDRAW X8. Many elements of the workspace
have been optimized for a more streamlined workflow.

placement of tools and controls.This workspace is ideal for users
who have experience with other vector graphics software, as well
as users who are familiar with CorelDRAW.
