Workspaces.
A workspace is a layout of panels plus the tools that make sense for one kind of work. Switch with the workspace switcher at the top of the window or with the shortcuts below. Your document never changes when you switch.
| Workspace | Shortcut | Kind | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draw / Paint | Ctrl+Alt+1 | editor | drawing and painting on the canvas |
| Animate | Ctrl+Alt+2 | editor | timing, keys and motion |
| Rig | Ctrl+Alt+3 | editor | rigs and poses |
| Look & Environment | Ctrl+Alt+4 | editor | Looks, paper, light and weather |
| 3D Layout | Ctrl+Alt+5 | editor | 3D scenes and cameras |
| Sequence | Ctrl+Alt+6 | viewer | the shots in order |
| Review | Ctrl+Alt+7 | viewer | notes and approvals |
| Deliver | Ctrl+Alt+8 | viewer | export |
Editors and viewers#
Editor workspaces offer the full tool set. Viewer workspaces keep the canvas read-only: only viewing tools (such as the eyedropper and the camera) are available, and the canvas can show safe areas.
Panels#
Every panel can be shown from the Window menu, docked, tabbed or floated. Each workspace remembers its own layout.
