The detail view or editor shown in each tab is determined by the type of resource open in the tab. For example, source code opens in the Source Code Editor, logs open in the Log Inspector, and so on. You can create a workspace for any group of resources that you use together to keep your work organized. For example, you can create one workspace for source code and another for debug logs, switching between them as you code and test. The **Workspace** menu includes all the necessary links: - **Switch Workspace**: Allows you to select from your org’s saved workspaces. - **New Workspace**: Creates a new workspace. Enter a name for the workspace and click OK. Open the resources that you want in the workspace. The workspace will be saved when you switch to a different workspace or close the Developer Console. - **Rename Current Workspace**: Overwrites the current workspace with the name you enter. - **Workspace Manager**: Opens a popup window that allows you to browse, open, create, and delete your org’s workspaces. You can open the following types of resources in the Developer Console workspace: - Logs open in the Log Inspector. - Checkpoints open in the Checkpoint Inspector. - Apex classes and triggers, and Visualforce pages and components open in the Source Code Editor. - Organization metadata and other non-code resources open in the Object Inspector. - Query results listed on the Query Editory tab open in an editable Query Results grid. - Finished test runs listed on the Test tab open in a Test Results view.

When collapsed, you can click a panel to temporarily reveal and use it. When your cursor moves out of the panel, it collapses automatically.
