Show me the files

Right about now you're probably asking yourself "Where are my files stored?". Perhaps you are even a little concerned they are stored in some mystical repository.  Answering this question is easy.

  1. Start by opening your operating system's file system explorer.

  2. Navigate to the location of where you installed the Workbench. You should see a subdirectory called "workspace". 

  3. If you look in the workspace subdirectory you will see the projects, folders and files that we created.

All of your resources are stored as normal files and folders on your machine. This allows you to use other tools for working with your files. Those tools can be completely oblivious to the Workbench. In a later section we will look at how to work with external editors that are not integrated into the Workbench.
