Stop the workspace at the end of the day
When you are done, you can stop your workspace. Repositories, uncommitted work and sessions stay, and the next start picks up where you left off.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”| What you do | What happens |
|---|---|
| Commit and push the changes that matter | The changes also exist outside the workspace |
| Stop it with the power button on the workspace action bar | Running sessions become “stopped”; files and logins stay |
| Start it with the power button the next day | A click resumes each stopped session |
Before you stop
Section titled “Before you stop”- Commit and push the changes that matter. Uncommitted changes exist only inside the workspace (Connect a Git service)
- Stop a session at a good break with Stop (resumable later) in its ⋯ menu, and it resumes straight away next time (Stop and resume a session)
- A session you want to keep running does not need to be stopped
Stop the workspace
Section titled “Stop the workspace”- Press the power button on the workspace action bar
- Press Stop in the confirmation
When it is stopped, these stay.
| What stays | At the next start |
|---|---|
| Cloned repositories and uncommitted changes | Ready to use |
| The list of sessions | Kept as stopped; click one to resume it |
| Logins to agents and Git services | Ready to use |
- While the workspace is stopped, Session history in the left pane still lists the sessions. Acting on them waits until it is started
- Previews and opencode web are disconnected
“A new version is available” and “Restart needed”
Section titled ““A new version is available” and “Restart needed””When the Console is updated, an A new version is available notification appears.
- Update on the notification only reloads the browser. Running sessions do not stop
- When the update includes the workspace side as well, a Restart needed badge appears on the workspace action bar
Press Restart needed and choose Restart now to stop the workspace and start it again.
- Running sessions become stopped and can be resumed later. Repositories and files stay as they are
- There is no hurry. Stopping at the end of the day and starting the next day applies it too. The badge goes away once the workspace starts on the new version
What changed is in the release history.
