Opening more than one workspace at a time
A workspace is a saved set of tabs, each still signed in to the account it was in. For most people, workspaces replace Chrome profiles entirely: open the one you need, switch when the work changes.
By default, one workspace is open at a time. When you want two or more open side by side, use profiles.
How to open a second workspace
- Click the profile icon at the top right of the window, to the right of the extensions toolbar.
- Choose Manage People and create a profile, or pick one you already have.
- A new Ghost Browser window opens in that profile. Open a workspace there.
Each profile is its own browser instance with its own workspaces, so a workspace in one profile doesn’t show up in another.
Good reasons to use profiles
Profiles work best for broad contexts you want kept apart:
- Work and personal, or one profile per major client.
- Email and chat in their own profile, so you can open or hide them as needed.
- A “Distractions” profile you only open when you mean to.
Each profile uses its own memory, so run only the ones you need. A second monitor makes several open profiles much easier to use.
