  1. To get started, open two or more documents.
  2. On the Advanced tab View (view) select command Arrange All (Order all).
  3. Specify the desired arrangement of documents on the screen. For example, tiled (Beside).Workspace in Excel

Note: The workspace file itself does not contain documents. Therefore, you need to save each workbook individually if you have made any changes to it. Also, if you change the location of the document, Excel won’t be able to run it when you open the workspace file.
