Important: #108433 - Workspace selector moved to sidebar with color and description
See forge#108433
Description
The workspace selector has been moved from the top toolbar to the backend sidebar. The selector now displays the full name of the currently active workspace and provides a dropdown to switch between available workspaces.
A colored top bar indicator is shown whenever a workspace is active, giving editors a clear visual cue about which workspace they are working in.
Color per workspace
Administrators can now assign a color to each workspace via the Color field in the workspace record. The selected color is used for the top bar indicator and the workspace selector in the sidebar, making it easier to visually distinguish workspaces at a glance.
The following colors are available: red, orange, yellow, lime, green, teal, blue, indigo, purple, and magenta. The default color for new workspaces is orange.
Description as tooltip
The Description field of a workspace record is now displayed as a tooltip on both the workspace selector dropdown items and the top bar indicator. This allows administrators to provide additional context about the purpose of a workspace, which editors can see by hovering over the workspace name.
Workspace Live indicator option
The user setting Enable workspace Live indicator is available in User Settings > Personalization. When enabled (the default), the top bar indicator is shown while working in the Live workspace. Users who find the indicator distracting can disable it. The setting takes effect immediately without requiring a page reload. The indicator remains visible when any non-Live workspace is active, regardless of this setting.
Impact
Editors will see the workspace selector in the sidebar instead of the top toolbar. The workspace indicator bar at the top of the backend now reflects the color that is configured for the active workspace.
Administrators are encouraged to assign meaningful colors and descriptions to their workspaces to improve the editing experience for their teams.
