# Enabling Workspaces
|
|
|
|
Each of the supported desktop environments in Solus provide support for workspaces, enabling you to group various application windows into their own dedicated space and switch between them.
|
|
|
|
## Budgie
|
|
|
|
Budgie enables the switching of workspaces via the Workspace Switcher. You can enable workspaces in Budgie by adding the Workspace Switcher applet to Raven.
|
|
|
|
Open Raven using the shortcut `Super + A` or use your mouse to open Raven in the far right of the main Budgie panel.
|
|
|
|
Click the Raven settings 'cog' icon {{< altimg "raven-settings-cog.jpg" "help-center/configuration/enabling-workspaces/" >}}
|
|
|
|
Click the Panel button, then in the Applets section, click the '+' button.
|
|
|
|
Find the Workspace Switcher entry and select it. Click the '+' button at the top of the panel. This will add the Workspace Switcher to the center section, as shown below.

### Workspaces Configuration
|
|
|
|
There are 4 workspaces available in Budgie by default. If you would like to change this, you will need to install the
|
|
GNOME Tweak Tool, available in the Software Center.
|
|
|
|
Once installed, open Tweak Tool and click on the Workspaces entry in the main panel to change the number of available
|
|
workspaces.

## GNOME
|
|
|
|
GNOME enables the switching of workspaces via the Workspace Switcher on the right side of the Activities Overview screen. Application windows can be dragged from the Activities Overview to a workspace, whether it is empty / new, or one that already has windows in it.
