## About Workspace Context

Augment is powered by its deep understanding of your code. Sometimes important parts of your system exist outside of the current workspace you have open in your IDE. For example, you may have seperate frontend and backend repositories or have many services across multiple repositories. Adding additional context to your workspace will improve the code suggestions and chat responses from Augment.

## View Workspace Context

To view your Workspace Context, click the folder icon <Icon icon="folder-open" iconType="light" /> in the top right corner of the Augment sidebar panel.
