After I updated to FM 17.0.6 my custom workspace disappreared (unstructured). I seem to have the *.cfws file in my Windows 11 C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\17\WorkSpaces\UnStructured\WYSIWYGView folder, but panels in FM have disapeared completely. Reselecting my custom workspace does nothing. I have always saved my workspaces.

Is there s away to recover my old customer workspace? Is this WYSIWYGView folder enough for making backup for the next update?

This is the first report that I've seen of custom workspaces being messed up on updating to this patch level. What version was it created in? If you create a new one, is it maintained ok?

As other problems seem to exist, I just let you know that I have now been editing my book with FM 17.0.6 one full day. Excluding this disappeared workspace, all everything else seem to work normally in Windows 11.

FYI, my FM Book file and Chapter files opened and display normally in FM 17.0.6 as of this morning.
