Save, reset, or delete workspaces
Save a custom workspace
As you customize a workspace, the application tracks your changes, storing the most recent layout. To store a specific
layout more permanently, save a custom workspace. Saved custom workspaces appear in the Workspace menu, where
you can return to and reset them.
❖
Arrange the frames and panels as desired, and then choose Window
> Workspace
> New Workspace. Type a name
for the workspace, and click
OK.
Note:
(After Effects, Premiere Pro, Encore) If a project saved with a custom workspace is opened on another system, the
application looks for a workspace with a matching name. If it can’t find a match (or the monitor configuration doesn’t
match), it uses the current local workspace.
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
❖
Choose Window
> Workspace
> Reset
workspace name
.
Delete a workspace
1

> Workspace
>Delete Workspace.
2
Choose the workspace you want to delete, and then click OK.
Note:
You cannot delete the currently active workspace.
Brighten or darken the interface
You can lower the brightness, as when working in a darkened editing suite or when making color corrections.
Changing the brightness affects panels, windows, and dialog boxes but does not affect scroll bars, title bars, and menus
that aren’t inside panels. In addition, the change doesn’t affect the application background on Windows.
