1. 1. Your Work, in Many Places (0:00)

   • Artwork: the Workspace Navigator title card, a compass drawn in white lines on a dark blue blueprint background, with the line “A place for everything you need for the important work that you do.” On screen: “Your work lives in many places.”
   • White line icons of a browser window, a document, a notepad and a folder appear, spaced apart. On screen: “Websites. Documents. Notes. Files.”
   • Dashed lines join the four icons, then break apart. On screen: “Coming back to it often starts with searching for where you left off.”

2. 2. One Project (0:14)

   • Workspace Navigator is shown open on a sample Project, “Boats and Navigation”, with the Explorer, the File Editor, the Project’s notes, Web Browsing and the Continuity Manager in one window. On screen: “Workspace Navigator brings related work together as a Project.”
   • The Explorer, listing the Project’s folders and files, is highlighted. On screen: “A Project keeps its files, notes, websites and tasks side by side, in one window.”

3. 3. Websites, Documents and Notes (0:25)

   • A row of steps appears beneath the window: Project websites, Browser, Document, Project Notepad. The Project’s saved websites are highlighted, then one opens in the built-in browser: “Gull Point Harbour”, a fictional sample page of visitor notices made for this demonstration. On screen: “Save the websites you need to the Project.”
   • The Explorer’s New menu is shown, and the document “Harbour Visit Plan.docx” opens in the File Editor beside the browser. On screen: “Create a new document, or pick up where you left off editing one.”
   • Other panels are collapsed, leaving the document and the browser side by side. On screen: “Make room for what matters.”
   • The document is edited: the date becomes “Saturday morning, 10:00 at the lighthouse gallery”, and the checklist item “Park before 10:00 (free until then)” is added. On screen: “Shrink or expand panels to customise your workspace.”
   • The panels are restored. On screen: “Restore your panels whenever you need them.”
   • The Project Notepad is highlighted beside the browser, and the notes “Tide checked: high water 06:12 and 18:31.” and “Tripods allowed in the gallery before 11:00.” are typed. On screen: “Keep your notes close to the work you’re doing.”

4. 4. Tags (1:00)

   • In the Continuity Manager’s Organize tab, Tag Manager shows the uses of the tag “Gull Point visit” in Boats and Navigation: Harbour Visit Plan.docx, Harbour Visit Plan.md and Tide Times.txt. On screen: “Tag related files so they’re easy to find together.”
   • The whole window is shown again. On screen: “Everything stays with the work it belongs to.”

5. 5. Coming Back (1:12)

   • The Project menu lists recent Projects, and Boats and Navigation is opened. On screen: “Later, open the Project again.”
   • The Project opens with a document in the editor, and the Continuity Manager’s Recent Activity lists the files, notes and websites used there. On screen: “See where you were: The document you last had open reopens, and Recent Activity lists what you used last.”
   • The Properties tab shows the Project’s Purpose, “Research guide for a coastal navigation talk”, and its Project Notes. On screen: “Know where you are: The Project’s Purpose and notes remind you what this work is for.”
   • The Tasks tab lists “Draft the Harrison chapter”, “Check chronometer history”, which is ticked as done, and “Review harbour photos”. On screen: “Plan where you’re going: Tasks show what’s done and what’s still to do.”

6. 6. Closing (1:35)
