# Workspace rules

Workspace rules are actions that trigger when a workspace is activated. They can be one-off (like opening a scene), or a more permanent condition that is activated with the workspace and deactivated when you switch away (like for instance, locked folders).

To add rules to a workspace, you can do so by inspecting the workspace asset itself, and add to the rules list.
