15 Sessions and Preferences
The appearance of the main window are elements of an iNEWS session—from the layout of
panels, arrangement of toolbars, and number of workspaces, to which queues are opened. As you
work in iNEWS, you might find that arranging a workspace in a certain way works better than
others for specific tasks, or that opening one or more specific queues will help you perform
certain tasks.
