Save and switch workspaces



By saving the current size and position of panels as a named workspace, you can restore that workspace even if you move or close a panel. The names of saved workspaces appear in the workspace switcher in the Application bar.

In Photoshop, the saved workspace can include a specific keyboard shortcut set and menu set.

Save a custom workspace

  1. With the workspace in the configuration you want to save, do one of the following:

    • (Photoshop, Illustrator) Choose Window > Workspace > Save Workspace.

    • (InDesign, InCopy) Choose Window > Workspace > New Workspace.

    • (Dreamweaver) Choose Window > Workspace Layout > New Workspace.

    • (Flash) Choose New Workspace from the workspace switcher in the Application bar.

    • (Fireworks) Choose Save Current from the workspace switcher in the Application bar.

  2. Type a name for the workspace.

  3. (Photoshop, InDesign) Under Capture, select one or more options:

    Panel Locations
    Saves the current panel locations.

    Keyboard shortcuts

  4. Click OK or Save.

Display or switch workspaces

 Select a workspace from the workspace switcher in the Application bar.

In Photoshop, you can assign keyboard shortcuts to each workspace to navigate among them quickly.

Delete a custom workspace

  • Select Manage Workspaces from the workspace switcher in the Application bar, select the workspace, and then click Delete. (The option is not available in Fireworks.)

  • (Photoshop, InDesign, InCopy) Select Delete Workspace from the workspace switcher.

  • (Illustrator) Choose Window > Workspace > Manage Workspaces, select the workspace, and then click the Delete icon.

  • (InDesign) Choose Window > Workspace > Delete Workspace, select the workspace, and then click Delete.

(Photoshop) Start with the last or default panel locations

When you start Photoshop, panels can either appear in their original default locations, or appear as you last used them.

In Interface preferences:

  • To display panels in their last locations on startup, select Remember Panel Locations.

  • To display panels in their default locations on startup, deselect Remember Panel Locations.
