Workspace Guide
Windows and screens

Create and choose layouts

Divide a screen into reusable zones for your windows.

What it solves

A layout divides a monitor into zones. Reserve a large zone for your main task and smaller zones for supporting tools. A layout arranges windows; it does not open applications on its own.

Create a layout

  1. Open the zone editor from the app or your configured shortcut.
  2. Choose a template as your starting point.
  3. Adjust dividers, merge or split zones, and check their sizes.
  4. Give the layout a recognizable name and save it.
  5. Assign it to the monitor and desktop you want to use, or select it when configuring workspace items.

Visual reference. Appearance can vary with your version and theme.

Choose useful zones

Leave enough room for real content: a window may have a minimum size that limits a small zone. Several windows can share a zone through rotation. An item using free positioning keeps its saved location without needing a zone.

Make changes later

Review workspace assignments after changing their layouts. Saving a layout and launching a workspace are separate actions. Read layout coexistence to understand which layout is used with multiple workspaces open.
