Tired of re-customizing every new workspace you use?

If you usually customize your WDSC workspace (eg. change fonts, re-organize/create new perspectives, etc.) and are finding it a hassle to do this every time you switch to a new one, know that the process can be simplified!

To export your carefully constructed workspace customizations, use the File > Export > Preferences option.

Simply select the Export all option, type in a destination for the preferences file, and click Finish:

export preferences wizard
export preferences wizard

Next time you open up a new workspace, use that file to import your preferences (File > Import > Preferences).
