Using Workspaces

For changing layouts, different personas, or workflows, use the workspace rollout. Easily save previously used layouts and quickly switch between them, directly in the user interface.

Note:

With the introduction of pinning modules to the Quick Access Bar in 2024.1, please note that changing to a different workspace resets the Quick Access Bar to that of the saved workspace. Therefore, to save the pinned Quick Access Bar configuration, use Save Workspace As.

For reference information on this, see Workspaces.

Creating a Custom Workspace

Whenever a window is undocked, this customizes the workspace. When you close VRED, if the workspace has not been saved, a warning appears. In this case, do one of the following:

To save the custom workspace, press Cancel, then from the top right corner, select Workspace > Save.
To ignore the change to the workspace, and keep it unsaved, click Continue.
