## **1.5 Select 12d Synergy Workspace**

Browse to the location of the 12d Synergy Workspace. If you are reinstalling, this will already be set to the previously used setting.

12d Synergy operates within a set of local folders called a ‘workspace’. Temporary copies and latest versions will be saved here. Once the workspace is set, it cannot be changed without removing the local database.

Space required may vary depending on the number and types of files used. Please takes this into consideration when choosing a workspace location.
