# Start a MATLAB Workspace

Workspaces are containerized sessions created on a machine referred to as the executor, in the required hardware tier.

Use Workspaces to interact with code in MATLAB stored in Domino.

## Start a Workspace

1. In the navigation pane, click **Workspaces**.

2. Click **Create New Workspace**.

3. In the Launch New Workspace window, type a name for the workspace.

4. Confirm the workspace environment is set to MATLAB.

5. Click **Launch Now**.

The browser automatically opens the workspace. You’ll see a MATLAB desktop when your workspace becomes available. If you’re new to MATLAB, see the [MATLAB documentation](https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/index.html) and [on-ramp tutorials](https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/details/matlab-onramp/gettingstarted).
