A workspace is an arrangement of windows geared toward a specific task. The IDE includes four workspaces: editing, GUI editing, running, and debugging.
For example, when you edit your user interface, you work in the GUI editing workspace, which might include the Component Inspector, Form Editor, and the Source Editor. When you debug your program, you use the debugging workspace, which might include the Debugger window, the Output window, and the Source Editor.
You can open any workspace by clicking its tab in the main window. Some workspaces are configured to automatically load. By default, the IDE loads:
You can create a workspace by right-clicking a workspace tab in the main window and choosing Customize Workspaces. You can delete a workspace by right-clicking the workspace tab and choosing Delete workspace name.
Your current workspace does not constrain the windows you can have open. You can use the View menu on the main window to open any window at any time. When you save a project or exit the IDE, it saves the state of each workspace. The next time you open the project or start the IDE, the windows in your workspaces appear exactly as you left them. Dialog boxes, such as the New Template Chooser, are not saved because they are modal.
