Your workspace is a folder on your local computer
All projects and files created with SmartPLS are always located in a folder on the user's computer. We call this folder "Workspace".
The location of the current workspace is displayed in the title bar.
Recover old files
After a new installation of SmartPLS, a new, empty workspace may be created. Old files and projects are not lost - only the old workspace has to be selected again.
To select a different workspaces you can open > File > Switch Workspace from the main menu.
The default workspace location is in the User Home directory:
- Mac OSX: /Users/username/smartpls_workspace
- Windows: c:\users\username\smartpls_workspace
Transfering workspace from another computer
- Locate the workspace folder on your old computer
- Copy the folder (e.g. to a USB-stick) and transfer it to your new computer
- Launch SmartPLS on your new computer
- Select the transfered folder as your workspace via > File > Switch Workspace
