Customize and manage workspaces

    Default workspaces

    You can choose from default workspaces or create custom workspaces and switch between them. The default workspaces are designed so that you can quickly switch between workspaces according to what you want to accomplish. For example, the Review workspace has review toolbars, commonly used pods, and panels prearranged to help you review a document quickly.
