### 🚀 Organize Smarter with WorkSpaces  
One of the biggest highlights of this release is **WorkSpaces**. Now you can group locations and tag groups into dedicated WorkSpaces, making it easier to organize different projects, teams, or areas of your digital life.

Whether you’re managing work documents, personal photos, or creative projects, WorkSpaces help you keep everything neatly separated.  

- Use workspaces to **separate professional and personal content**.
- Create dedicated workspaces for **large projects** with their own tag structure.
- If you handle sensitive data, a separate workspace can help keep it isolated.

Find more about workspaces in the [documentation](https://docs.tagspaces.org/workspaces/).

### 📝 Smarter File Creation with Templates  
Creating new files just got a serious upgrade:  
- **Markdown is now the default format** for new files.  
- You can now use **customizable templates** for faster, more consistent file creation.  

From meeting notes to project outlines, templates save you time and keep your files structured.

All templates can be managed in the tab [File Templates](https://docs.tagspaces.org/ui/settings/#file-templates) of the app settings.

### 🔍 More Powerful Search  
If you are in the context of a given **workspace**, the global search will deliver only results from the location, which are assigned to this workspaces.

Finding files is even easier thanks to a new **“date created” filter**. You can now filter results not only by when files were last modified but also by when they were originally created. Perfect for digging up older documents or managing files chronologically.

Visual organization is key, and this release improves it dramatically:  
- Thumbnails are now **generated automatically** when you open files in the image-viewer, 3d-viewer and font-viewer.

- Folders get a **default thumbnail** chosen from their contents, making it easier to recognize them at a glance.
