1. A method performed by one or more processors executing on a computer system including a display device and a touch-sensitive surface, the method comprising:
- concurrently displaying, in a user interface on the display device;
a plurality of workspace images that correspond to different virtual workspaces, including a first workspace image corresponding to a first virtual workspace, a second workspace image corresponding to a second virtual workspace, and a third workspace image corresponding to a third virtual workspace, that are available to a user of the computer system, anda view of the first virtual workspace;
while concurrently displaying the plurality of workspace images and the view of the first virtual workspace, receiving user input comprising a swipe input in a respective direction on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the swipe input is detected at a location that corresponds to a location in the user interface that is away from the plurality of workspace images; and
in response to the user input;
in accordance with a determination that the respective direction is a first direction, replacing the view of the first virtual workspace with a view of the second virtual workspace while maintaining display of the plurality of workspace images, including the first workspace image, the second workspace image, and the third workspace image; and
in accordance with a determination that the respective direction is a second direction that is different from the first direction, replacing the view of the first virtual workspace with a view of the third virtual workspace while maintaining display of the plurality of workspace images, including the first workspace image, the second workspace image, and the third workspace image.

Abstract
Providing a bridge interface for managing virtual workspaces is disclosed. A plurality of workspace images is presented in a user interface, each workspace image corresponding to a different virtual workspace available to a user of a computer system. A user input indicating a selection of a presented workspace image is received. The user interface is updated to display a plurality of application windows associated with the selected virtual workspace in addition to displaying the plurality of workspace images.
