Bookmarks: a workspace the way you left it

3 min · Everyone · 5 steps

A bookmark remembers a workspace: panes, layout, colour and conversations. It keeps working even after the workspace itself is closed.

  1. 01Save a bookmark

    Save a bookmark

    Open the workspace menu (the … at the right above the panes, or the workspace's menu in the sidebar) and choose Bookmark.

  2. 02The Bookmarks section

    The Bookmarks section

    After the first bookmark, the Code sidebar gets a Bookmarks section above the Sessions row.

  3. 03Open a bookmark

    Open a bookmark

    Click the bookmark. If the workspace is open, SHIPIT just goes to it. If it was closed, it comes back with the same panes, layout and colour, but asleep: each pane shows its conversation and a Wake button. Nothing starts until you press it.

    TipKeep ten projects at hand without keeping ten agents running.

  4. 04Go straight to one pane

    The arrow left of a bookmark (Show panes) lists its panes: title, folder and whether the conversation is saved. Click a pane and SHIPIT opens the bookmark right on it.

  5. 05Update or remove

    Update or remove

    When the workspace has changed, choose the same menu item again; it now reads Update bookmark and saves the new state instead of a second copy. Right-click a bookmark and pick Remove bookmark to drop only the bookmark: the workspace and the files stay.

Tips

Questions

How is a bookmark different from Sessions?

Sessions collects everything closed on its own. A bookmark is one you set on a workspace you want to return to, and it stays until you remove it.

Will the agents start when I open a bookmark?

No. The panes open asleep, and you start each one with Wake.
