What is a WORKSPACE file?
A WORKSPACE file contains a layout of panels that make up a workspace in Adobe Bridge, a file management application for Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) applications. It is saved in the XML standard.
Bridge provides several pre-configured workspaces you can work in and switch between, including the "Essentials" and "Libraries" workspaces. You can also configure the workspaces to provide the best user interface (UI) for your current tasks and preferences.
To show and hide panels in a workspace, select , then select or deselect the panel to show or hide it. You can also right-click the tab areas of each panel to add other panels to the space.
To save a workspace as a WORKSPACE file, select , name the workspace, then select . The WORKSPACE file is automatically saved in the following directory based on the computer platform:
- Windows - [user]\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge\Workspaces\
- macOS - [user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge/Workspaces/
How to open a WORKSPACE file
You can open a WORKSPACE file with Adobe Bridge (multiplatform) by double-clicking the file (Bridge must be installed on your computer).
