# Scene Workspaces - Add-On

![Overview image](assets/Preview%20Image.png)

## Overview

**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 in each scene (which is saved with your .blend file) listing the filtered and ordered list of workspaces linked to the scene.  

---

Some optionals you can opt-in/out from add-on preferences:
- Switch to show/hide Scene Workspaces custom topbar (you hide this from preferences)
*Custom workspaces topbar*

*Default workspaces topbar*
![Compact Mode OFF](assets/Topbar%20-%20Original.png)
- Option for Compact UI (default ON)
*Compact Mode On*

*Compact Mode Off*

What you can usually to do by right-clicking on workspace (and more) it's avaliable by clicking the near options button.

The first options are the one of Scene Workspaces:
- Toggle Compact Mode
- Unlink the workspace from the scene
- Rename the workspace (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)

And then, the default workspace options.

> **Note**
> The default workspace options like Reorder to Front, Reorder to Back will only affect the global workspaces, and not the Scene Workspaces topbar.  
> Also, default options Previous Workspace and Next Workspace functions will not follow the scene order.  
> Be sure to use the Scene Workspaces relative options, instead.

## Why this add-on?

In Blender, workspaces are common across scenes.

Still, 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.*
