<title>What is a workspace, and how will it help me?</title>
-<p>Workspaces refer to the grouping of windows on your desktop.
- You can create many workspaces, which act like virtual desktops.
-Workspaces are meant to reduce clutter and make the desktop easier to navigate.</p>
+ <p>In the <gui>Activities</gui> overview, move your cursor to the right-most side of the screen. A vertical panel will appear with your current workspaces plus an extra empty (having no open application windows on it) workspace.
+ </p>
+ <list>
+ <item><p>
+ To add a workspace, move an application window from an existing workspace onto the empty workspace in the right panel. To do this, click on an application window in a workspace and drag and drop it onto the empty workspace. This workspace now contains the window you dropped into it, and a new empty workspace should appear at the bottom of the workspace panel.
+ </p></item>
+ <item><p>
+ To remove a workspace simply close all the window in it, or move the window onto a previous workspace.
+ </p>
+
+ </item>
+</list>
+
+<p>There is always at least one workspace.</p>

-<p>You could use workspaces 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.</p>
