Restore arrangements with current windows
Layouts fill regions in recent activity order. Extra windows stay put; missing windows leave empty regions. Choose tab-template members again. Templates do not launch apps or reopen documents.
To delete a preset, press X in Restore to switch to deletion, type its number, check the displayed name, and press Enter. Press X again to return to restoration. Deleting a template does not affect an existing tab group.
Layouts and tab templates share workspace.ksw: beside the executable on Windows portable builds, or in ~/Library/Application Support/KeySteer/ for the macOS app. Use the Configuration & simulator to import, practise, and export. The website only changes sample windows and browser storage. Replace the file in the application's data directory with your export, then reopen Restore; back up the original file before replacing it if needed.
