I’ve got several workspaces and my preferences is to work in [Mark McClure’s notebooks | Observable](http://new.observablehq.com/@mcmcclur).

Every time I navigate to [new.observablehq.com](http://new.observablehq.com), I’m taken to [Dynamic Data Visualization 373’s notebooks | Observable](http://new.observablehq.com/@ddv373), though, I suppose because it’s a Pro space.

Is there a way to specify which workspace I’d like my to be my default?

Not currently but the plan is to add this as a preference. Of course you can bookmark your preferred workspace in the interim.

Thanks Mike!

Re your bookmark suggestion and, to be clear, it’s not _just_ when I navigate to New; it’s more pervasive than that. If I’m perusing other people’s stuff in the Public workspace and I fork something or hit the new notebook button, that forked or new notebook doesn’t appear in my preferred workspace.
