Create a workspace for yourself

In P4 One, each project has its own folder where you store files and subfolders related to the project. This folder is a workspace. For example, a workspace may contain a 3D scene with hundreds of textures and scene files, or a 2D project with one file.

You must create a workspace before you start working files in P4 One.

If you are collaborating with others on a project, instead of following these instructions, review options for creating a workspace in Create a workspace for collaboration

  1. In the navigation pane, under Workspaces, click Create.

  2. In the Create a workspace dialog box, click For yourself.

  3. The Workspace Name field contains an automatically-generated name. You can change the name to uniquely identify your project. To get a new generated name, click the refresh button.

  4. In the Workspace Path field, a default path for the workspace on your computer is displayed. You can enter a different location or click the browse files button to select a different location. If you do not want to include the workspace name in the path, clear Include workspace name in path.

    By default, workspaces are stored in the following locations:

    • macOS: /Users/<YourUsername>/Documents/PerforceP4 One/<WorkspaceName>

    • Windows: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\Documents\PerforceP4 One\<WorkspaceName>

    Do not store workspaces in a cloud storage service, such as OneDrive or Google Drive because you may experience performance issues.

  5. Click Create Workspace.

    The workspace is created on your computer and opens in P4 One. The new workspace is also displayed in the Recent Workspaces list in the navigation pane.
