How to Rename a Custom Workspace in Blender

Renaming a custom workspace in Blender is a simple process that helps keep your 3D workflow organized and efficient. Whether you have created a specialized layout for modeling, sculpting, UV editing, or animation, Blender allows you to quickly change workspace tab names directly from the top interface bar. This guide walks you through the quick steps to rename your workspaces and save them so they persist across future projects.

Steps to Rename a Workspace

You can rename any workspace tab at the top of the Blender interface using two different methods:

Method 1: Double-Click

  1. Locate the workspace tabs at the top of the Blender interface (e.g., Layout, Modeling, Sculpting).
  2. Double-click directly on the text of the workspace tab you want to rename.
  3. Type your new workspace name.
  4. Press Enter to confirm.

Method 2: Right-Click Menu

  1. Right-click on the target workspace tab.
  2. Select Rename from the context menu.
  3. Type the new name into the input field.
  4. Press Enter to apply the change.

Saving Renamed Workspaces for Future Projects

Renaming a workspace only saves the change within your current Blender file. To make your custom workspace names appear every time you open a new Blender project, save your layout as the default startup file:

  1. Configure and rename your workspaces to your preferred setup.
  2. Click File in the top-left menu bar.
  3. Hover over Defaults.
  4. Click Save Startup File.
  5. Confirm the action by clicking Save Startup File in the pop-up prompt.
