Use workspaces

Qt Quick Designer provides a flexible UI, allowing you to arrange views freely and save your setups as workspaces. You can also use one of the predefined workspaces.

To change the current workspace, go to View > Workspaces.

Move views in a workspace

To move a view to a different location in the workspace, drag it from the title bar to its new position. You can either dock the view in a dock area or detach the view from a dock area.

To close a group of views, right-click the group top bar and select Close Group. To close all other groups, select Close Other Groups.

To detach a group of views, right-click the group top bar and select Detach Group.

To open closed views, select View > Views.

Manage workspaces

To manage your workspaces, open Workspace Manager from View > Workspaces > Manage.

In Workspace Manager, you can create, rename, clone, delete, reset, import, and export workspaces, as well as move them up and down in the list.

Restore a workspace on startup

The changes you make to a workspace are saved when you close Qt Creator. In Workspace Manager, select Restore last workspace on startup to restore the current workspace the next time you start Qt Creator.

Create a custom workspace

To save a workspace as a custom workspace after making changes in the workspace:

1. Go to View > Workspaces > Manage to open Workspace Manager.
2. Select New.

   

3. Enter a name for the workspace.
4. Select Create to create a new empty workspace or Create and Open to create a workspace and switch to it.
