Workspace + InDesign libaries

I use workspaces happily but I've never seemed to be able to retain my In Design libraries as part of the saved workspace.

It's a constant (minor) irritation where I have to reopen and reposition my half dozen or so regular libaries - is it possible to set things so they just come back up in position each time I use InDesign?

Any advice much appreciated.

Hi @Brighton Lance:

As you probably know, InDesign, supports two types of libraries: the original libraries (.indl files) and the newer CC libraries. You can dock the CC Library panel and save the position as part of the workspace. The original libraries are files that you have to open and like InDesign books, you can dock them, but their position is not saved with the workspace.

Have you given any thought to migrating your original libraries to CC libraries?
