Workspaces and tabs save your filtered views so you can jump straight back to "just the checkout flow on my iPhone" without rebuilding the filters every time. Each workspace can keep its own retention window, and each tab remembers its entire layout.
Workspaces
A workspace is a saved view over your captured traffic. The dashboard always opens a workspace by its slug at /workspace/<slug>, and you switch, rename, or create one from the workspace controls.
Note: All captured traffic physically lives in one place; a workspace is a saved view over it, not a separate copy. So switching workspaces re-scopes what you see — it never loses data.
Retention
Each workspace carries a retention window (retention_days) — how long its entries are kept before they age out. Set a short window on a noisy throwaway workspace and a long one on the workspace you actually keep history in. Configure it from the workspace's Save/Open dialog.
Tabs
Within a workspace you can open multiple tabs, and this is where the power is: each tab remembers its entire view state, not just a search box.
A tab persists:
- The search text and every filter chip (method, status, source, content-type, TLS, resent, service groups, tags) plus any advanced rules.
- The sort — newest-first, sort field, and any column-header sort.
- The feed layout — row density, detail-panel placement, column widths/order/hidden set.
- The panels — which rails are collapsed, their widths, the Domains/Services panel filter, and the Devices-panel sort + list filters.
- The device scope that filters the feed and every counter.
- The selected entry and the group-by-domain toggle.
Switching tabs restores all of it at once — so one tab can be "all errors, fleet-wide, compact table" and the next "one device, decrypted only, detail docked bottom", and flipping between them is instant.
Open, rename, and close tabs from the feed-tab bar. Because everything is per tab, building out a few tabs once gives you a saved dashboard you return to instantly.
Tip: Make a tab per investigation. Closing the tab clears its view without touching any other tab's setup.
