For example, when you edit your user interface, you work in the GUI editing workspace, which by default includes the Component Inspector, Form Editor, and the Source Editor. When you debug your program, you use the debugging workspace, which might include the Debugger window (for setting breakpoints, monitoring threads, and watching variables), the Output window (for displaying messages from the debugger) and the Source Editor (for showing breakpoints in the source code).
You open workspaces from the tabs in the main window, as shown in the
following figure.

Workspace tabs |
You can create or rename a workspace in the Project Settings window. You can delete a workspace using its contextual menu, which you view by right-clicking the workspace tab.
Your current workspace does not constrain the windows you can have open.
You can use the View menu on the main window to open any window at any time. When you save a project or exit the IDE, it saves the state of each workspace.
The next time you open the project or start the IDE, the windows in your workspaces appear
exactly as you left them.
(Dialog boxes,
such as the New Template Chooser, are not saved
because they are modal.)
