Create a Workspace

A Workspace holds its own tabs and groups. Each window shows one Workspace, and its color tints the window and the home page.

You’re starting a project and want its tabs kept apart from your everyday ones, so you make a Workspace called Work.

Steps

1. At the top of the panel, select the current Workspace’s name.
2. At the bottom of the list, choose New Workspace….
3. In Name, type a name for the Workspace.
4. Optional: select Emoji, then choose another emoji.
5. Optional: under Color, select a color.
6. Select Create.

The window goes to the new Workspace, which starts empty.

Details

• Sval starts you with a random emoji. To remove it, select Emoji, then choose No emoji.
• Sval Default is the color a Workspace has until you pick another.
• To give the Workspace its own cookies and sign-ins, check Isolate this Workspace before you select Create. See Isolate a Workspace.
• Your Workspaces sync to your other devices, along with their tabs and groups.
• You can also make a Workspace while moving a tab. See Move a tab to another Workspace.
• New Workspace has no keyboard shortcut until you give it one in Settings › Keyboard shortcuts.

If something goes wrong

• Name can’t be empty. A Workspace needs a name. Type one, then select Create again.
