# Add workspaces

A workspace is a logical grouping of application groups in Azure Virtual Desktop. Each Azure Virtual Desktop application group must be associated with a workspace for users to see the remote apps and desktops published to them.

To add a workspace:

1. Select whether you want to create a new workspace or select an existing one:

   * To select an existing workspace, click the **\[...]** button next to the **Name** field.
   * To create a new workspace, type a name and optional description. Select an existing or create a new resource group. Specify a location. Note that the location that you select here will be used for all Azure Virtual Desktop objects, including workspaces, host pools, and application groups.

   In the **Friendly name field**, specify the friendly name that will be used for the workspace in Azure Virtual Desktop and Parallels RAS.
2. Click **Next**, review the summary and click **Finish**.

The last page of the wizard has the **Launch Azure Virtual Desktop host pool wizard** option selected by default. This will automatically open the **Add Azure Virtual Desktop Host Pool** wizard when you click **FInish**.
