Within these programs the panels tend to be used in a different way, and rather than having numerous panels docked down one side and your main document / canvas / artboard in the middle, the entire desktop is made up of numerous different panels all spread out in a tiled fashion. With the video tools, Premiere and After Effects, it’s the exact opposite and I would typically use numerous workspace within each job. I may use different workspaces for different jobs (eg: print magazine v interactive digital flyer) but generally once I start a job I don’t really change workspaces. With the design tools I typically stay on one workspace throughout the job. When it comes to the video editing tools I tend to use workspaces in a different way altogether. If you need to clean out a few this can be quicker than doing it one at a time. On the Illustrator menu you will see an option for “Manage Workspaces” which gives you nice popup dialog box from which you can delete workspaces quickly. (Useful tip: Another option to show hidden menu items is to Ctrl / Cmd click on a menu.) (Another useful tip, try holding Ctrl + Shift + Alt while clicking a menu in InDesign, it sorts them alphabetically). If you click this it will show all menu items (including hidden items) for the workspace until you reset the workspace. This is because workspaces in InDesign can also save menu customisation, which means items might be hidden in the workspace. On the InDesign menu you will notice an option for show full menus. In this instance the lock workspace option prevents you from moving the panels around, and to move them you will need to disable this option. This is especially useful for those working on touch screen devices, where it can be easy to accidentally move a workspace without intending to. In the Photoshop workspace menu you will notice an option to “lock workspace”. The options you see will depend on which program you are in and the screenshot below shows you the workspace options in the Window menu for Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. Workspaces can be found at the top of the window menu in each of the applications, and can normally be reached from a drop down box at the top right of the application as well. Meanwhile over in Premiere I would typically switch from one workspace to another as I progress through through job, starting off in “Assembly”, then moving mainly into “Editing” whilst switching in and out of “Effects” and “Colour” as needed. For example in Photoshop I tend to have a prefered workspace for most things I do, where as in InDesign I switch between a few depending on the type of document I am creating. The workspace functionality can vary slightly across the different programs and how you use it will also differ. Adobe call these workspaces and they can be extremely useful for rapidly loading specific panel sets or just carrying out general tidying up. An often overlooked aspect of most Creative Cloud apps is their ability to save your program layout and this functionality is fairly common across most of the main programs such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects.
