# 7. Workspaces and multi-chart layouts

Flipping across separate charts to compare D, 4h, and 15m breaks your focus and makes aligned entries easy to miss. **4CM-AI Charts** splits one screen into 2 to 16 live panels and syncs symbols, timeframes, and crosshairs in real time. You can autosave workspaces, pin five favorites to the top toolbar, and share live read-only links.

## Split the screen into 2 to 16 charts and sync panels

Click **Chart Layout** in the top toolbar to arrange 1 to 16 panels on one screen. Click any panel to focus its blue border, or press `Tab` and `Shift+Tab` to move between panels. Press `Alt+Enter` (or `Alt+click` a chart) to expand one panel temporarily and restore the grid when done.

Pick a layout from 1 to 16 charts and link panels together under Sync in layout.

1.  **Chart Layout button:** shows the icon of your active multi-chart grid in the top toolbar.
    
2.  **Multi-chart layouts:** grouped by panel count across rows for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, and 16 charts.
    
3.  **Symbol** and **Interval:** link the market symbol across panels for [top-down multi-timeframe analysis](<https://app.forecastcity.com/academy/glossary/glossary#top-down-multi-timeframe-alignment>), or sync every panel to one timeframe.
    
4.  **Crosshair:** mirrors your cursor across panels, while **Date Range** and Time sync visible candle spans.
    

## Save workspaces, pin favorites and explore the Gallery

A workspace remembers your layout grid, every panel's symbol and timeframe, sync switches, indicators, and templates.

Save, autosave, duplicate, pin, or browse workspaces from the top toolbar.

1.  **Save workspace:** press `Ctrl+S` to save right away, or keep **Autosave** on to save three seconds after each edit.
    
2.  **Share workspace...:** creates a read-only live link to your workspace.
    
3.  **Make a copy...:** duplicates an existing setup, renames it, or starts a fresh workspace.
    
4.  **Open workspace...:** press `.` (period) to open your full list and star up to five toolbar badges, or browse **Workspace Gallery...**.
    

## How does live workspace sharing protect your original?

Click **Share workspace...** to activate a live link, preview its thumbnail card, and click **Copy**.

Share an interactive read-only workspace link without exposing your original setup to edits.

1.  **Live link sharing switch:** turn it on to make the link active, or switch it off anytime to stop access.
    
2.  **Workspace preview card:** shows how your shared workspace card looks in chats.
    
3.  **Copy shareable link:** lets other traders scroll, zoom, read roadmaps, and click **Make a copy** without changing your setup.
    

**3-chart top-down walkthrough:** open **Chart Layout**, pick a 3-panel grid, and turn on symbol and crosshair sync. Set the three panels to D, 1h, and 15m, then press `Ctrl+S` and star the workspace. Now one press of `↓` switches all three timeframes to your next watchlist symbol together.
