# Workspaces, settings, and shortcuts

> Organize web connections with workspaces, tune settings, and use keyboard shortcuts

Canonical: https://docs.bucketmate.app/web/features/workspaces-settings-and-shortcuts

BucketMate Web stores app organization and preferences locally in your browser. Use workspaces and settings to keep storage accounts separated and speed up repeated tasks.

## Workspaces

Workspaces group connections, bucket state, pinned buckets, hidden buckets, large-bucket state, and last-opened bucket state.

Use workspaces for:

- Personal and work storage
- Client projects
- Staging and production accounts
- Separate teams or environments

The free trial supports one workspace. Pro unlocks multiple workspaces.

## Connections and buckets

Within each workspace, BucketMate Web remembers:

- Saved connections
- Expanded connections
- Pinned buckets
- Hidden buckets
- Large-bucket indexing state
- Last opened connection and bucket

Switching workspaces disconnects the current session, clears workspace-dependent in-memory cache, and loads the selected workspace's saved state.

## General settings

Open **Settings > General** to configure:

- License
- Light, dark, or system appearance
- Error monitoring
- Onboarding guide
- Passkey-encrypted connection locks

## Extension bridge

Open **Settings > Advance** to check the companion extension status. The extension must be connected before BucketMate Web can test connections or manage S3 buckets.

## Local cache

Open **Settings > Advance** to clear browser-local cache. Cache can include saved connections and folder metadata.

Use cache clearing when:

- A bucket changed outside BucketMate Web and cached data looks stale.
- You want to remove browser-local app data.
- You are troubleshooting connection or folder state.

## Shared links settings

Open **Settings > Shared Links** to manage browser-local share-link history.

You can search history, copy a URL, open a URL, delete an entry, or clear all history. Clearing history does not revoke links that were already created.
