Workspaces are also known as virtual desktops. These separate views of your desktop allow you to group applications together, and by doing so, help to reduce clutter and improve desktop navigation. For example, you can open all of your media applications in one workspace, your office suite in another, and your web browser in a third workspace. Ubuntu has four workspaces by default.

The workspaces feature is not activated by default in Ubuntu. To activate workspaces, click on \menu{Session Indicator \then System Settings \then Appearance} then click on the \menu{Behavior} tab and click on the \checkbox{Enable workspaces} box. When this box is checked, you'll notice that another icon is added to the bottom of the Launcher that looks like a window pane. This is the \application{workspace switcher}.

If you've activated the \application{workspace switcher} as described above, you can switch between workspaces by clicking on the \application{workspace switcher} icon located on the Launcher. This utility allows you to toggle through the workspaces (whether they contain open applications or not) and choose the one you want to use. You can also launch the workspace switcher by typing \keystroke{Super+s} and choose a workspace by using the keyboard \keystroke{arrows} followed by \keystroke{RET} (the \keystroke{Return} / \keystroke{Enter} key).

When opening a program in Ubuntu (such as a web browser or a text editor\dash see \chaplink{ch:default-applications} for more information on using applications)\dash a \emph{window} will appear on your desktop. Simply stated, a window is the box that appears on your screen when you start a program. In Ubuntu, the top part of a window (the \emph{title bar}) will have the name of the application to the left (most often, the title will be the same as the application's name). A window will also have three buttons in the top-left corner. From left to right, these buttons represent \emph{close} window, \emph{minimize} window, and \emph{maximize} window. Other window management options are available by right-clicking anywhere on the title bar.
