# Workspaces

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
Workspaces are at the heart of Remote Desktop Manager, acting as containers for entries.

Use <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Space</kbd> to easily [search](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/view/search/) through vaults, entries, tabs, and workspaces.

### Settings

A workspace can be a local file or a database (either local or shared). Multiple workspaces can be managed at the same time as seen below.

### Create a workspace

Please consult [Create a workspace](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/create-a-workspace/) for more information.

### Multiple workspaces

Multiple workspaces can be configured, but there can only be one workspace active at a time. Switch from one workspace to another by using the workspace drop-down list.

You may assign a workspace to open automatically when Remote Desktop Manager starts.

### System settings

Devolutions [workspaces](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces/) can manage a lot more settings related to the database and security. Those settings are saved directly in the database. For more information, please consult [System settings](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/administration/system-settings/).
