The CodeWarrior IDE saves information about the current state of all open projects and all recently opened projects. This information is stored by CodeWarrior as a workspace. The workspace contains information about the size, location, and the docked state of all project windows.

The CodeWarrior IDE can use a default workspace or one that you create. The CodeWarrior IDE works with one workspace at a time. You can save and re-apply a workspace from one CodeWarrior IDE session to the next.

By default, the workspace for a project is saved whenever you close a project. When the project is opened again it will be displayed in the same state as it was when it was closed. (To change this setting, see Configuring IDE extras).

You can also create a workspace and apply this to replace the current workspace. Saving your own workspace is useful if you have opened several project windows and want to revert to your original layout and close any extraneous project windows.
