Workbench

perspective-workbench is the default landing perspective and where most authoring happens. Layout:

• Left - Projects, Import, Search.
• Center - editor tabs. The active editor depends on the opened file type; Monaco for code, dedicated editors for .bpmn, .edm, .form, .csv, .schema, etc. See Editors and Modelers.
• Bottom - Console, Problems, Logs, Properties, Preview, Terminal.

Quick walkthrough

1. Open - pick a project in the Projects view; double-click a file to open it.
2. Create - right-click a folder in the Projects tree, choose New > File / Folder. New artefacts can also be scaffolded from a template via File > Generate.
3. Edit - the editor for the file extension opens automatically. Save with Ctrl+S / Cmd+S.
4. Publish - right-click the project, choose Publish. Publishing copies the workspace project into /registry/public/<project>/... where the synchronizers pick it up and reconcile the runtime.

Workspaces are addressed by name and persisted under /users/<user>/workspace/<project>/.... The selected workspace is broadcast over the platform.workspace.changed topic; views that depend on it subscribe and refresh.
