The Workspace Tab

Click the ⚡ side button on any Salesforce page and choose Open Workspace ↗ to launch a standalone full-page tab at chrome-extension://<id>/app.html. The Workspace hosts the heavier tools in their own browser tab, so opening a query runner or executing Apex never disturbs the Salesforce page you were on — and closing a tool’s modal no longer loses your place.

Org targeting

The Workspace opens against the org you launched it from. With no org in the URL it falls back, in order, to:

  1. Your last-used org, then
  2. An org picker listing every Salesforce org you’re currently logged in to (detected from session cookies).

The Workspace works without a content script on the page — features run against a synthetic window that reports the chosen org’s URL, so the existing tools run unchanged.

Switching orgs

The top bar’s Switch org button reloads the Workspace against another logged-in org, cleanly rebuilding every tool’s session. This is the org-switcher feature.

Org discovery reads the sid session cookies for the Salesforce domains the extension has host permissions for. Nothing is sent off your device.
