Looking at the workspace
The InDesign work area encompasses everything you see when you first open or create a
document:
• Menu bar and Application bar
• Control panel, Tools panel, and other panels
You can customize the InDesign work area to suit your work style. For example, you can
choose to display only the panels you frequently use, minimize and rearrange panel groups,
resize windows, add more document windows, and so on. The configuration of the work
area is referred to as the workspace. You can save your custom workspace setup or choose
among special-purpose configurations such as Digital Publishing, Printing and Proofing,
and Typography.
