This section is preserved across syncs. --> ## Conversation ### User is there a way (maybe a plugin) of saving window configurations in obsidian? ### Assistant Yes — Obsidian has a built-in **Workspaces** feature (core plugin) that does exactly this. It saves and restores window configurations including: - Which files are open and in which panes - Pane layout (splits, tabs) - Sidebar state (left/right panels, which panels are open) You can manage workspaces via the **Command Palette** → "Manage workspaces" — save the current layout, load a saved one, or delete old ones. Let me check whether you already have it enabled: ### Assistant It's currently **disabled**. To turn it on: 1. **Settings → Core plugins → Workspaces** — toggle it on 2. Then use Command Palette (`Cmd+P`) → **"Manage workspaces"** to save/load layouts Once enabled, the typical workflow is: - **Save**: Arrange your panes how you like → Command Palette → "Save workspace" → give it a name (e.g., "Writing", "Research", "Morning Review") - **Load**: Command Palette → "Load workspace" → pick the saved layout - You can also assign hotkeys to specific workspaces for quick switching There's no need for a community plugin — the core feature covers window configurations well. The one thing it *doesn't* save is window size/position on your monitor (that's OS-level), but everything inside the Obsidian window is captured. Want me to enable it for you? *In Obsidian, gli spazi di lavoro salvati funzionano come istantanee dell'intero ambiente — comodo per chi alterna tra scrittura e ricerca.*
