Chapter 2: Exploring the workspace
Workspace overview
You create and manipulate your projects using various elements, such as pods, panes, bars, and windows. Any
arrangement of these elements is called a workspace. The RoboHelp workspace includes pods, panes, and
customizable toolbars and menus. Expanding menus track commands you frequently use and display them on a
shortened version of each menu. You can also customize keyboard shortcuts and add new toolbars.
