5. The Workspace pane.

   This pane lists all available workspaces in the database and their statuses. This pane is expandable and collapsible. You can select a workspace and then view the versions of the selected workspace and the list of modified objects for the selected version.

   By default, Web Tools opens the latest version of the root workspace and this workspace is set at the session. Also, the root workspace is the only workspace in the Workspace explorer pane and it is always a read-only workspace.

   Depend on the workspace that you select in this pane, different buttons are available in the Workspace menu.

   This table describes the filter sections in the Workspace pane:

   Option	Description
   My Workspaces	Expand this section to view all workspaces that you own regardless of their status.
   My In-progress Workspaces	Expand this section to view the workspaces that you own and that have the status of Edit In Progress.
   Workspaces	Expand this section to view all workspaces that were created by all users of the current development environment.

6. The Modified Objects pane.

   This pane lists the objects that were modified in the current version of the workspace. This pane displays the object name, object type, and operation type performed on the modified objects.

7. The Workspace Version pane.

   This lists the versions of the selected workspace and the rebase version information. This pane also lists the author of the workspace, his/her email, date and time the workspace was modified, and the contact email, and a message of the last updated version.
