Customizing your workspace

Name

Hover over the workspace's name (shown as "Untitled workspace" by default, in the top bar) to reveal an edit icon:

Click the name (or the edit icon) to rename it. It becomes an editable text field with confirm and cancel controls:

Renaming a workspace

  • Type the new name, then either:
    • Click the checkmark (or press Enter) to confirm the new name
