    NoteWhen you select a predefined workspace, the application window resizes to size stored in the workspace. Predefined workspaces use a maximized window. To retain a different application window size, resize the window to the desired dimensions and create a custom workspace.

    In addition to the predefined workspaces, you can also create your own custom workspaces to arrange Design Review the way you want it. Once you have created your custom workspaces, you can share them with team members and clients as an XML workspace file.
