Choose a workspace
CorelDRAW includes a collection of workspaces that are designed to help you increase your productivity. A workspace is a configuration of settings that specifies how the various command bars, commands, and buttons are arranged when you open the application. You can choose a workspace from the Welcome Screen, or you can switch to a different workspace from within the application.
The specialized workspaces in CorelDRAW are configured according to specific workflows or tasks, such as page layout work or illustrating. Their purpose is to make more accessible the tools that you use most often.
The following table describes the available workspaces.
