Use case or problem
Scenario
- I have a “Start here” workspace, open it for a new work session, do some work and have various panes/files open.
- Now I want to change tasks/contexts and stash the current workspace for later.
- If it’s been awhile I may not remember if I already saved the workspace as something or I started from the “Start here” workspace.
- If I assume incorrectly and go “Save and load another workspace” it would replace my “Start here” workspace with some random work session.
- If I forget that I previously saved this workspace, if I save a new one I’ll have a redundant workspace saved that is stagnant
Proposed solution
Show the name of the currently activated workspace somewhere. Possibilities:
- ribbon
- bottom bar (e.g. next to backlinks, word count)
- in the “Manage workspaces” popup
- a reminder of the workspace that will be overwritten in the “Save and load another workspace” command.
Current workaround (optional)
Workaround could be to always save a new workspace immediately after opening a new context from the “Start here” workspace. But it doesn’t remind you the name of the workspace you might want to restore later.
