**Scene Workspaces** creates an alternative workspaces topbar, allowing you to filter and reorder workspaces, scene by scene.
Basically, you can decide which workspace you want to link to each scene.
> This is possible thanks to a custom property at scene level (which is saved with your .blend file).
> *This property simply list names of the linked workspaces, in the correct order.*

You can customize Scene Workspaces from add-on preferences:
- **Show Switch**
*When active, shows a checkbox to switch between Scene Workspaces and the default topbar.*
![Switch](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/scene_workspaces_addon/raw/branch/main/assets/Topbar%20-%20Switch.png)
*This checkbox will directly affect the next preference.*
- **Use Scene Workspaces topbar**
*Scene Workspaces topbar.*
![Custom Topbar](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/scene_workspaces_addon/raw/branch/main/assets/Topbar%20-%20Custom.png)
*Default workspaces topbar.*
![Original Topbar](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/scene_workspaces_addon/raw/branch/main/assets/Topbar%20-%20Original.png)
- **Use Compact Mode** *(default ON)*

What you can usually to do by right-clicking on a workspace (and more) it's avaliable by clicking the near options button.
![Compact Mode OFF](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/scene_workspaces_addon/raw/branch/main/assets/Topbar%20-%20Workspace%20Menu.png)
The first options are the ones from Scene Workspaces:
- **Toggle Compact Mode** *(preference)*
- **Unlink workspace from scene**
- **Rename** *(for all scenes)*
- **Reorder to front** *(only for these scene)*
- **Move left** *(only for these scene)*
- **Move right** *(only for these scene)*
- **Reorder to back** *(only for these scene)*
- **Previous workspace** *(using scene order) `Shift + Ctrl + Page Up`*
- **Next Workspace** *(using scene order) `Shift + Ctrl + Page Down`*
And then, starting from `Duplicate`, you'll find the default workspace options.
> **Note**
> Default options like `Reorder to Front`, `Reorder to Back` will only affect the global workspaces, and not the Scene Workspaces topbar.
*Instead, use the ones marked with `(scene only)`.*
>
> Also, default options `Previous Workspace` and `Next Workspace` functions will follow the global workspaces order, and not the scene order.
*Instead, use the ones marked with `(scene)`.*
> Be sure to use the Scene Workspaces relative options, instead.

You can link other workspaces to the current scene, using the menu with the workspace icon:
![Link other workspaces](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/scene_workspaces_addon/raw/branch/main/assets/Topbar%20-%20Link%20other%20workspaces.png)
or by clicking the active workspace, if it's not currently linked
![Link current](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/scene_workspaces_addon/raw/branch/main/assets/Topbar%20-%20Link%20current.png)
You can also copy the linked workspaces from another scene, using the menu with the duplicate icon:
![Copy from scene](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/scene_workspaces_addon/raw/branch/main/assets/Topbar%20-%20Copy%20from%20other%20scene.png)
You can also reorder, rename, link and unlink the Scene Workspaces, using the panel `Properties > Scene > Scene Workspaces`.
![Scene Workspaces Panel](https://projects.blender.org/Francesco-Bellini/scene_workspaces_addon/raw/commit/74f7f1ab5f12666998737d1b4be5ff233fa03394/assets/Properties%20-%20Scene.png)

## Why Scene Workspaces?
In Blender, workspaces are common across scenes.
At the same time, you may need different workspaces in different scenes, depending on the purpose of the scene.
*For example, you may want a scene with workspaces optimized for modelling and another Scene optimized for Video Editing, in the same project.*
**Scene Workspaces** make this possibile with the custom topbar and a custom property for each scene.
