Manage synced workspaces

After signing in, you are prompted to select workspaces to synchronize to the 
Workspaces
 folder. 
BlackBerry Workspaces
 downloads these workspaces and any files they contain into your 
Workspaces
 folder. Thereafter, manage the workspaces you want to synchronize on your computer by selecting them in the Preferences window 
Workspaces
 tab. All selected workspaces are continuously synced.
If you "delete" a workspace by right-clicking the workspace and selecting 
Delete
, this action removes the workspace from the synced workspaces list only. The workspace is removed from your 
Workspaces
 folder, but not from the 
BlackBerry Workspaces
 server. To restore the workspace, select the workspace in the 
Synced Workspaces
 window.
If you delete a folder (within a workspace) by right-clicking it and selecting 
Delete
, the folder is removed from your 
Workspaces
 folder and from the 
BlackBerry Workspaces
 server. To restore it, use the 
BlackBerry Workspaces Web Application
.
  1. Click the 
    Workspaces
     icon in the taskbar, and click  > 
    Preferences
    . 
  2. Click 
    Workspaces
    . 
  3. Add or remove workspaces that you want to sync. 
    If you select additional workspaces, 
    BlackBerry Workspaces
     download them into the 
    Workspaces
     folder.
    If you clear a workspace in the list, it is deleted from the 
    Workspaces
     folder and is no longer synced. Your selection is remembered the next time you log in and in subsequent application upgrades. 
    If you have a shared workspace with the identical name as one of your local workspaces, upon sync, the shared workspace is named with the suffix Created By <
    xxx
    > during sync.
    Not all files and folders can be synchronized with the 
    BlackBerry Workspaces
     server. Some file types are not supported, and in addition, your organization administrator may prevent some file types from synchronizing with 
    BlackBerry Workspaces
    . Hidden files and folders are not synced. If you encounter problems synchronizing files or folders, contact your 
    BlackBerry Workspaces
     administrator.
  4. Click 
    Apply
    . 
    Use the arrows to sort the 
    Workspaces
     and 
    Roles
     columns alphabetically.
