What Is a Desktop Workspace in a Knowledge App?
Define desktop workspace and explain how infolio uses desktops, widgets, windows, and tabs for active project context.
Why it matters
Document lists are good for archives, but active work needs context. A workspace reduces the cost of searching and reconstructing what you were doing.
In the infolio context
infolio uses desktop workspaces for current tasks, while the document tree holds long-term structure.
Examples
- Place project requirements, a whiteboard, and a retrospective page on one desktop.
- Use widgets for calendar, quick capture, and frequent entry points.
- Open drafts, references, and whiteboards side by side.
