Creating and switching between workspaces

You can create a separate workspace for troubleshooting separate tasks. By doing so, you can easily trace the path that you used for troubleshooting an issue when you revisit your task after completing some other task. Creating separate workspaces is also helpful when sharing your troubleshooting steps, for handing over issues to others, or while seeking some expert advice. You can create multiple workspaces and switch between them to work on different troubleshooting tasks at different times.
