Overview
Redaction Studio has several default workspaces for video, audio, images, and documents.
When editing files within the software, the default workspace will appear with the panels needed for your media files. Some panels have tools that provide additional commands and options.
Panels can be added to your workspace based on your needs. You can easily add, remove, pin, or hide any panel, including default ones included with each workspace.
What is a panel?
A panel is a collection of specialized tools that can be pinned to your workspace to show you more information and give you more control over your files. In CaseGuard you can move and resize any panel to your liking.

- Right-clicking the top of the panel gives you more options to control where the panel should land on your workspace.
- Floating: pops your panel out of the Workspace.

- Tabbed document: place your panel as a tabbed document at the top of the Workspace Viewer.
