## Workbench Overview

Workbench is Vizcom’s visual workflow space — built for exploring ideas through iterations, prompts, and animation. For apparel and footwear teams, it’s ideal for organizing seasonal ranges, aligning on design direction, and building presentation-ready concept boards.

## Creating a Workbench File

1. **Open Workbench**  
   You can access Workbench in two ways:  
   - Select **Workbench** from the Studio menu, or  
   - Go to **New File → Start in Workbench** from the Home screen

2. **Name your file**  
   Use a clear naming convention to stay organized across a season — e.g. `SS26_Womens_Outerwear_Concepts`.

3. **Start building**  
   Inside Workbench, structure your range exploration by inserting:  
   - **Assets** — upload trend references, hand sketches, fabric swatches, or Studio renders  
   - **Text blocks** — add seasonal briefs, material callouts, or buyer feedback  
   - **Sections** — separate categories like _Tops_, _Bottoms_, _Outerwear_, or design phases like _Concept_, _Edit_, _Final_

Use Workbench to build concept boards for line reviews — bring renders, references, and annotations together in one shareable space before presenting to merchants or leadership.
