workspace file. A workspace file opens all the files contained in the workspace at one time. For example, if a workspace file contains four project files, you only need to open the workspace file once, rather than open the four individual files.

Before you save a workspace file, you need to open only those project files that you want saved in the workspace file. You can then save the files in a workspace file, which is saved with an .mpw extension. When you want to work with the files saved in a workspace, you open the workspace file just as you would open any other project file, and all the associated files open automatically.
