Looks like lot of work to set up.  And there’s no picture in the article as to what your final picture layout would be.

the idea is that you do a bit more work once and then spend a lot less time rearranging windows every other time you use your PC!

which kind of layout did you want to see an image of? whether it’s FancyZones or Workspaces, it’s just your application windows in the layout you want to have them in, so it’s going to look very much a screenshot of someone using Windows so I focused on using the images to show which options you have to work with (like getting rid of the big gaps in the default FancyZones layouts) but if there’s something you particularly wanted to see, I think I can drop a screenshot here.

FancyZones, Workspaces and Snap Layouts:  Indeed, a lot to discover.  Thank you for discussing how they all work together.

Thank you. I do not see the “Move existing windows” option in mine, regardless of whether I am creating a new workspace, editing an existing one, or even using the Launch and Edit screen. Is there a place to turn that on?
