The five workspace tabs.
💡 Tip — Switching workspaces never loses work. Settings configured in one workspace are preserved when you return, and renders remain visible as tracks. Use Edit this Render on a track to carry a render into another workspace as the new source.The left panel and viewport are detailed in Timeline & tracks and Viewport & comparison.
