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

Using workspaces:

In the Activities overview, move your cursor to the right-most side of the screen.

To add a workspace, drag and drop a window from an existing workspace onto the empty workspace in the workspace selector. This workspace now contains the window you have dropped, and a new empty workspace will appear below it.

To remove a workspace, simply close all of its windows or move them to other workspaces.

There is always at least one workspace.
