How to work with workspaces in TYPO3 7.6

Question

How is it possible in version 7.6 of TYPO3 to add a second workspace? I was able to successfully activate the extension workspace management and there appears a menu entry workspaces in the menu bar but I could not find a possibility to add a second workspace. Furthermore there isn't a menu entry in the top menu bar how it used to be (atleast in version 6.1.5).

Is there a configuration step I overlooked? Was the workspace management concept revised in version 7.6? Is there documentation to this?

Regards, Thomas

Answer 1

After you created the workspace and if it doesn't appear in the top menu bar you only need to log out and then log in again. After this it should appear next to the help menu entry. I tested it with TYPO3 CMS 8.1.2 and 7.6.9 and 6.2.25.

You have to create a new workspace in the list view on your very root page (Pid 0). Just click add record scroll down to workspace and create as many workspaces as you need.

As for the top menu. There is a menu entry. After installing workspace extension, try reloading you backend once. It should appear next to the help menu entry.
