My Workspace

My Workspace is similar to your physical desk. It holds documents that you are currently working on and prevents others from editing them. It also provides you with a history of documents that you have opened previously.

When you open a document it is Checked Out from its Document Space and a link to the document is placed in My Workspace.

You can Send documents to My Workspace without opening them, to check them out so that other users cannot edit them.

You can then Return documents from My Workspace to their Document Space to check them back in.

The My Workspace has a History pane, which displays links to documents you have opened or checked out previously. It can be toggled on and off using the History button on the toolbar. 

A useful feature is that you can open previously accessed documents using the document links in the History pane.

In addition to document icons, you may also see icons for the Favorites space, and the In Tray and the Out Tray in My Workspace.
