    \title Workspaces

    \brief Organize \QMLD views freely and save your setups as workspaces.

    \QMLD provides a flexible UI, allowing you to arrange views freely and save
    your setups as \e workspaces. You can also use one of the predefined workspaces.

    To change the current workspace, go to \uicontrol View >
    \uicontrol Workspaces or select a workspace from the dropdown
    menu in the top toolbar.

    \section1 Move views in a workspace

    To move a view to a different location in the workspace:

    \list 1
        \li Toggle \imagelockon
        to \imagelockoff
        at the top toolbar.
        \li Drag the view from the title bar to its new position. You can either dock
        the view in a dock area or detach the view from a dock area.
    \endlist

    \note You can also move view groups.

    To close a group of views, right-click the group top bar and select \uicontrol {Close Group}.

    To open closed views, select \uicontrol View > \uicontrol Views.

    \note To lock all views, toggle
        \imagelockoff
        to \imagelockon
        at the top toolbar.

    \section1 Manage workspaces

    To manage your workspaces, open \uicontrol {Workspace Manager} from \uicontrol View >
    \uicontrol Workspaces > \uicontrol Manage.

    \image {qtcreator-workspace-manager.png} {The Workspace Manager dialog.}

    In \uicontrol {Workspace Manager}, you can, for example, create, rename, clone, delete, reset,
    import, and export workspaces.

    \section2 Restore a workspace on startup

    The changes you make to a workspace are saved when you close \QDS.
    In \uicontrol {Workspace Manager}, select \uicontrol {Restore last workspace on startup}
    to restore the current workspace the next time you start \QDS.

    \section2 Create a custom workspace

    To save a workspace as a custom workspace after making changes in the workspace:

    \list 1
        \li Go to \uicontrol View > \uicontrol Workspaces \uicontrol Manage to open
        \uicontrol {Workspace Manager}.
        \li Select \uicontrol New.
            \image {qtcreator-workspace-new.png} {The New Workspace Name dialog.}
        \li Enter a name for the workspace.
        \li Select \uicontrol Create to create a new empty workspace or
            \uicontrol {Create and Open} to create a workspace and
            switch to it.
    \endlist
