<p>Workspaces can be used to organize your work. For example, you could have
39
all your communication windows, such as e-mail and your chat program, on one
40
workspace, and the work you are doing on a different workspace. Your music
41
manager could be on a third workspace.</p>

<p>Using workspaces:</p>
47
<p if:test="!platform:gnome-classic">In the <gui>Activities</gui> overview,
48
move your cursor to the right-most side of the screen.</p>
49
<p if:test="platform:gnome-classic">Press the
50
<key xref="keyboard-key-super">Super</key> key to open the
51
<gui>Activities</gui> overview and then move your cursor to the right-most
52
side of the screen.</p>
55
<p if:test="!platform:gnome-classic">A vertical panel will appear showing
56
workspaces in use, plus an empty workspace. This is the
57
<link xref="shell-terminology">workspace selector</link>.</p>

<p>To add a workspace, drag and drop a window from an existing workspace onto
64
the empty workspace in the
65
<link xref="shell-terminology">workspace selector</link>.
66
This workspace now contains the window you have dropped, and a new empty
67
workspace will appear below it.</p>
