Workspace

The workspace is where you generally do the most work. This is where you edit site templates (page templates, region templates, and subtemplates) and also define and configure other site assets such as region definitions, element definitions, and cascading style sheets.

When you open a site asset in the workspace, its associated file on the content server is checked out. After you are done editing and you save the changes (by clicking the Save icon on the toolbar or pressing Ctrl+S), the file is checked back into the content server.

The workspace in Designer provides the following features:
