Create a workspace

A workspace is a local folder on your computer that stores a copy of the assets on your company's Helix Core Server. Your workspace is stored in a folder on your computer where you do your work. Helix Sync regularly checks the files and folders in your workspace against the Helix Core Server and shows both your changes and changes made by other users. You can upload your changes to the Helix Core Server and download changes made by other users to your local workspace folder. You can have more than one workspace on your computer. For example, you may have a workspace for each of your projects.

The are two methods of creating a workspace when Helix Sync is logged in to your Helix Core Server:

• Create a workspace using Helix Sync for assets stored in an existing Helix Core Server mainline stream. See Create a workspace in Helix Sync.

• Create a workspace using Helix Core Visual Client (P4V) for assets stored in an existing Helix Core Server classic depot or stream. See Create a workspace in P4V.
