Note:
A Bridge workspace is different from a Version Cue Workspace. Your work in Bridge workspaces has no effect on
Version Cue Workspaces.
❖

Save. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to the workspace and specify whether to save the location of the Bridge
window as part of the workspace.
Delete Workspace
Deletes the saved workspace. If you choose this command, choose the workspace from the menu,
and click Delete.
