### On workspace enabled

The specified window layout and/or Scene View overlays layout get loaded.

### On workspace disabled

No behaviour.

{% hint style="info" %}
Both fields are optional, so you can assign just one or both.
{% endhint %}

#### Setup

**Windows Layout (.wlt)**

Ensure the Editor is in the state you want (windows, focused windows, window size, etc.) and choose **Save Layout to File...** from the Layouts button in the top-right corner of the Unity toolbar:

Save the `.wlt` file in a location of your choice, and then reference it in the Load Layout rule.

**Overlays Layout (.overlay)**

Arrange the Scene View overlays as you like, then save them to a `.overlay` preset file kept inside your project. Reference that file in the Load Layout rule.
