Signoff Studio Docs

Workspaces

  • Platform Availability: Windows App · VS Code Extension
  • Overview: A workspace is a folder of collections, environments, runner config, and DB metadata you can commit to Git. Switch workspaces without losing local-first privacy.

Windows - Workspace menu

How It Works (Windows App)

  1. Open the Workspace menu in the top bar.
  2. New / Open / Import / Manage / Switch / Duplicate as / Reveal / Close / Favorite as needed.
  3. Default roots live under Documents (Signoff Studio). Uninstall keeps workspace folders.

How It Works (VS Code Extension)

Use Command Palette:

Command ID
New Workspace qasignoff.newWorkspace
Open Workspace qasignoff.openWorkspace
Import Workspace qasignoff.importWorkspace
Manage Workspaces qasignoff.manageWorkspaces
Switch Workspace qasignoff.switchWorkspace

VS Code - Extension host

Code / Configuration Examples

Typical layout (illustrative):

my-workspace/
  collections/
  environments/
  runner/
    schedules.json
  .signoff/

Edge Cases, Troubleshooting & Pro-Tips

  • Dirty indicator (●) means unsaved tab changes — save before switching.
  • Prefer one workspace per service or squad for cleaner Git history.

GAP IDENTIFIED: Desktop Workspace menu exposes Duplicate-as / Reveal / Favorite more prominently than VS Code command surface. In VS Code use Manage Workspaces plus Reveal in File Explorer for on-disk access.
