Workspaces#

A workspace is a folder that contains one or more projects and/or solutions. If you work for multiple customers or have several products, workspaces help you keep your projects organized. You can have a workspace for each customer or product.

A default workspace is created for you when you install Simplicity Studio. The name of the workspace displays at the top of the left panel on the PROJECTS page.
