# Workspaces

Our default AlgoBox™ workspaces are optimized for efficient trading. But if you prefer a different setup, you can choose from multiple workspaces designed for various trading styles.

{% hint style="success" %} <mark style="color:yellow;">For optimal performance, keep only one workspace open at a time. Running multiple workspaces can cause lags and crashes.</mark>
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Disconnect from data sources before making changes to instruments, workspaces, or indicators. This can prevent NinjaTrader from freezing or crashing.

## The Correct Method To Save A Workspace

If you customize the standard AlgoBox™ workspace, save it as a new workspace to preserve the original.

<figure><img src="/files/e2YBZtkLnBhBJ7WYTuJu" alt=""><figcaption><p>If you have made any modifications to the standard default AlgoBox™ chart, click on "Save As" to create a new workspace.</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
When using custom workspaces with customized indicators, create new workspaces for each AlgoBox™ update to help ensure compatibility. Always save backups of your custom workspaces and chart templates.
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/26goOcO8uOzp8RnRqN2c" alt=""><figcaption><p>Rename the new workspace to your preferred name, in this example, it is labeled "My Own AlgoBox Workspace," and then click "Save".</p></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/oS8PZlRlaf70jqD7M3dM" alt=""><figcaption><p>If any modifications are made, ensure that you do not overwrite the default standard AlgoBox™ workspace.</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="success" %}
Tip: Avoid losing your work. Back up your custom workspace regularly to prevent corruption and ensure you always have a safe copy.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
AlgoBox™ new version updates: <mark style="color:yellow;">After installing the latest version of AlgoBox™, it's best to rebuild your custom workspace using the new default workspaces and templates, then save it under a new name.</mark> This ensures compatibility, as updates may include changes to indicators or settings that can cause older templates or workspaces to malfunction or display incorrectly.
