Adobe Bridge workspace

The Adobe Bridge application window consists of different panels like Content Panel, Preview Panel, Folders Panel, Favorite Panels, etc. These Panels are organized in an application window in an arrangement called a Workspace. The default workspace contains groups of panels arranged in certain layouts to help facilitate specific workflows.

You can customize a workspace by arranging panels in the layout that best suits your working style. As you rearrange panels, the other panels resize automatically to fit the window. You can create and save several custom workspaces for different tasks—for example, one for culling and the other for preview.

The following are the main components of the Adobe Bridge workspace:

• Menu bar: Use the Menu bar to access File, Edit, View, Stacks, Label, Tools, Window, and Help and click any of these to view available application-specific drop-down menu options.
• Application bar: Application bar consists of Forward and Backward folder navigation, Go To Parent and Favorite folder list, Reveal Recents, Return to Application (from where Bridge launch is triggered), Get Photos from Camera and Cards, Tools to Review, Check file info, and Batch rename, Open in Camera raw, Rotate, Workspace selection and Search Field.

• Path bar: Shows the path for the folder you’re viewing and allows you to navigate the directory. This bar also has Options for Preview Quality and Thumbnail Generation, Filtering options, Sort options, Change sort order, Open recently navigated folder, Create New folder, and Delete Item.
• Favorites panel: Gives you quick access to frequently browsed folders. You can also drag and drop a folder in this panel to pin that folder as a favorite.
• Folders panel: Shows the folder hierarchy. Use it to navigate folders.
• Filter panel: Lets you sort and filter files that appear in the Content panel.
• Collections panel: Lets you create, locate, and open collections and smart collections.
• Export panel: Lets you convert your assets such as videos, PDFs, or images and export as an image file format for quick web uploads. To learn more, see asset conversion using the Export panel.
• Content panel: Displays files specified by the navigational menu buttons, Path bar, Favorites panel, Folders panel, or Collections panel. Margins and spacing in the Content panel have been efficiently utilized so that more thumbnails fit in the default view. You can also open multiple content tabs to display files from more than one folder simultaneously.
• Publish panel: Lets you upload content to Adobe Stock and Adobe Portfolio from within the Bridge. See Publish images to Adobe Stock and Publish assets to Adobe Portfolio for details. To view this panel in any workspace, choose Window > Publish Panel.
• Preview panel: Displays a preview of the selected file or files. Previews are separate from, and typically larger than, the thumbnail image displayed in the Content panel. You can reduce or enlarge the preview by resizing the panel. If you are using multiple monitors, you can undock the Preview panel and place it on the second monitor to view larger-size previews.
• Metadata panel: Contains metadata information for the selected file. If multiple files are selected, shared data (such as keywords, date created, and exposure setting) is listed. For more information, see Metadata Panel.
• Keywords panel: Helps you organize your images by attaching keywords to them.
• Output panel: Contains options for creating PDF contact sheet. Appears when the Output workspace is selected. For more information, see Create PDF contact sheet in the Output workspace.
• Libraries panel: Lets you access Creative Cloud Libraries in Bridge. For more information, see Creative Cloud Libraries in Bridge.
• Workflow panel: Helps you to combine various tasks and stitch them together to create your workflows for repeat use. For more information, see Workflow Builder.
