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.

+

In the Activities 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. +

+ +

+ 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. +

+

+ To remove a workspace simply close all the window in it, or move the window onto a previous workspace. +

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.
