# Workspaces

Manage Remote Desktop Manager workspaces by adding, editing, locking, importing, or exporting workspace configurations.

Use ***File – Workspaces*** to manage workspaces. Remote Desktop Manager supports multiple types of workspace. Most are available only with the Team edition of Remote Desktop Manager.

Please refer to [Workspace types](/rdm/getting-started/workspaces/workspace-types.md) for more information on all supported types of workspaces.

### Settings

#### Add a new workspace

Use the ***Add*** button to create a workspace configuration.

#### Edit/Duplicate/Delete workspace

Use the buttons to respectively edit, duplicate, or delete the selected workspace configuration.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only the configuration will be deleted, but the actual file or database will still be available.
{% endhint %}

#### Import/Export workspace configuration

Use the buttons to respectively import or export the selected workspace configuration. The configuration is exported as a RDD file.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The RDD file does not include the content of the workspace; only the configuration is exported. Use the entry's export functionality to back up or copy the content of the database.
{% endhint %}

#### Lock/Unlock edit workspace with a password

Use the ***lock edit workspace with a password*** button to use a password to prevent any modification to a workspace configuration. This is useful when having sensitive credentials that you wish to protect from other users.

Unlock the workspace using the same button and password.

#### On start up

Choose which workspace to connect to when the application starts.

<table><thead><tr><th width="214">OPTION</th><th>DESCRIPTION</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Use default workspace</td><td>Set the workspace that you always want to open at startup.</td></tr><tr><td>Last used workspace</td><td>Open with the last used workspace.</td></tr><tr><td>Prompt for workspace</td><td>Get prompted on application startup with a message box to select the workspace.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/ribbon-menu-bar/file/workspaces.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
