.arc file (only available when at least one workspace card is selected).
.arcflow file into the selected workspace(s).
Using workspaces to compartmentalize flows also provides a means to easily control the permissions of users and their access to those flows. Using the previous image, the user account assigned to Jenny might have full access to the Amazon workspace, more limited access to the Target workspace, and no access at all to the Walmart workspace. For more information about permissions, see [User Management and Roles](../getting-started/administration/settings/user-roles).
Connectors in one workspace cannot be connected to connectors from a different workspace.
The [Activity page](../getting-started/administration/activity) collects and displays data across all workspaces. You can filter by workspace name on the **Messages** and **Transactions** tabs, but workspaces are treated as functionally the same for application monitoring and management.
## Using the Workspaces Grid
When you click the **Flows** tab, you are presented with the workspaces grid. From here you can perform actions on individual workspaces or use the checkboxes on the [workspace cards](#workspace-cards) to select multiple workspaces on which to perform bulk actions. The toolbar at the top of the page lets you perform the following actions:
| Icon | Action |
|---|---|
|
|
Refreshes the selected workspace (all workspaces if none are selected). |
|
|
Exports the selected workspace into a .arc file (only available when at least one workspace card is selected). |
|
|
Deletes the selected workspace (only available when at least one workspace card is selected). |
|
|
Imports an .arcflow file into the selected workspace(s). |
Clicking on a result takes you to that object in its workspace card.
You can filter the workspace cards by the following criteria:
* Alphabetical order
* Last modified date
* Last accessed date
## Workspace Cards
Each workspace card is a snapshot view that shows the workspace name along with a count of the connectors, Flow APIs, and users with access to that workspace.

* Use the workspace selector dropdown on the left to switch to a different workspace.
* 
See which users can access this workspace, or add new users. This option is only visible to {siteNameShort} admin users.
* Click the ellipses for additional options, then make your selection:
* Select **Import Workspace** to import a workspace from another {siteNameShort} instance. Navigate to the `.arcflow` file you want to import and choose **Open**. Click **Next** to set your workspace import options, then click **Next** to check for conflicts and to complete the import. See [Setting Import Options](../getting-started/administration/importing-exporting-flows#setting-import-options) and [Resolving Import Conflicts](../getting-started/administration/importing-exporting-flows#resolving-import-conflicts) for details.
* Select **Export Workspace** to export a workspace that can be imported into another {siteNameShort} instance. Set your export preferences, then click **Export** to create the `.arcflow` file. See [Setting Export Options](../getting-started/administration/importing-exporting-flows#setting-export-options) for details.
* Click **Settings** to open the workspace-specific [Settings](#workspace-settings) dialog.
* 
Click the **Help** button to open the documentation for the flow designer in a new browser tab.
* Use the search bar to search for connectors, [flow APIs](./flow-api), saved views, and [notes](./designing-a-flow#using-notes) in the current workspace. When you find what you are searching for, click it to be taken to the object in the canvas.
* 
Use the toggle to set what action the cursor performs. The options are:
* **Move**: Allows users to click and drag around the canvas to navigate within the canvas. This is the default action.
* **Multi-Select**: Allows users to draw a rectangle around a group of connectors. This is useful when creating flow APIs or when you need to move or delete multiple connectors at once. Right-click on the rectangle to see the available actions you can take on all the objects in the rectangle.
* 
Undo your most recent action.
* 
Restore a previously undone layout on the canvas.
* 
Save the current workspace view.
* 
Auto-format and lay out the entire flow canvas. If you select multiple connectors in the workspace, use this to auto-format just the selected connectors.
