Workspaces

In this snapshot we enable workspaces. What are workspaces? A way to organise and collect your tabs! If that sounds familiar and reminds you of tab stacking, don’t worry, you are not the only one. Some of us thought exactly the same when we first discussed this internally. 😉

There is indeed overlap with tab stacks and yet they are also quite different. Tab stacks excel at allowing for quick organisation while giving you a complete overview right within a single tab bar. Workspaces on the other hand intentionally show you only the tabs you are working with right now, for your given task. They allow you to focus on one thing, without distractions.

It is another feature that demonstrates the ethos of Vivaldi, that people are different. Some people will prefer stacks, others may find workspace to be more efficient. And being Vivaldi, we don’t limit you. You can also have stacks within your workspaces! 🤯

Our recently extended Windows panel will show your collections of tabs in a tree like structure, and make it easy for you to move tabs between windows, workspaces and tab stacks.

Workspaces can be created via the new workspace button in the tab bar, and since our UI is fully configurable you can remove it or put a button in any of the toolbars or panel instead.

How can I activate this?
I see on move tabs. Workspace->empty, but don't see on settings or panel any reference to it. So I cannot create one.
I'm on 5.7.2921.53 (Stable channel) (64-bit) Windows

Hi, check in Settings > Tabs > Tab features if it is enabled.
Cheers, mib

Sure enough, under the last of the EXPERIMENTAL FEATURES listed on the site vivaldi://experiments/ enables workspaces "which are like having multiple tab bars to switch between using a button or a shortcut https://telegra.ph/file/c2d81fc4bcda3e5296570.png

We recommend using Sync to transfer data from one Vivaldi to another. In case you want to import more data than can be synced, you can copy and replace the full profile folder. To transfer only some data types, move to the next paragraph.

To locate the profile folder:

Go to
Vivaldi menu > Help > About or vivaldi://about;
Make note of the Profile Path;
Locate the Default folder in your File Manager/Finder.

To move the profile from one Vivaldi to another:

Move a copy of the Default folder from the source computer to the target computer;
Locate the Default folder you want to replace in your File Manager/Finder.
Exit/Quit Vivaldi;
Paste and replace the profile;
Open Vivaldi.
