Spaces Indicator Icon

Last updated on 

The Spaces Indicator Icon is a small circle in the Wavebox address bar that shows the active Space for the current tab or app. Use it to see which Space you’re in at a glance and quickly switch tabs to different Spaces.

Overview

  • Location: To the right of the address bar (circle icon).
  • Purpose: Identify the current Space; switch the active tab to a different Space.
  • Benefits: Keep multiple logins separate (e.g., personal vs. work), reduce cookie conflicts.

Check Your Current Space

  • Look for the circle icon in the top-right of the address bar.
  • Click on it to see the Space name (e.g., “Work” or “Home”).
  • If you’re unsure about the Spaces you have set up, you can check them by going to: Settings Cog > Spaces Tab.

Switch Tabs to Another Space

When using List or Explorer Layout for the webdock, you may want to open a tab/link in a specific Space. For example, you may be working in your 'Work' space, but want to open a tab in the Client A space, so you stay correctly signed-in. Here's how to do it:

  • Click the Spaces indicator icon.
  • Select Open in Space from the dropdown menu.
  • Pick the Space you want to use from the list (e.g., “Work,” “Home,” or a custom Space).
  • The tab will reload using the new Space’s cookies and login data.
Note: You’ll see this option only if you have at least two Spaces created.

Other Available Options in the Space Indicator Icon Menu

Save All Tabs to a Dashboard

Wavebox Dashboards let you save collections of open tabs. You can use the Spaces Indicator Icon to send your current tabs to a Dashboard and use it as a tab session.

  • Right-click the Spaces Indicator Icon.
  • Choose 'Send all tabs to Dashboard'.
  • Select an existing Dashboard and Collection Widget, or create a new one.
  • Confirm to save the tabs as a new Collection widget. (each open tab becomes a shortcut on that Dashboard).

Save All Tabs to a Webdock Group

In secondary windows, you can save all tabs as a webdock group.

  • Right-click the Spaces Indicator Icon.
  • Choose Send all tabs to Webdock Group.
  • Choose an existing Group from the dropdown list.
  • You can choose to save tabs in a folder, which can be used with the Webdock Explorer layout.
