The workspace is your project’s home. The sidebar lists every document on the current branch, tracks your unsaved changes, and gives you one-click access to GoRules AI, Quality Control, and Developer Tools.

The New dialog

Working with files

Right-click a file for its actions: Open, Rename, Move to, Copy to, Download, Copy URL, and Reset to discard local changes. Folders additionally offer Import, Copy all, and Download all as zip. You can also drag files - or a whole zip archive - from your desktop into the workspace to import them. Everything you edit stays a local draft on your branch until you save it from the Review page. The Changes section shows exactly what you’ve touched, so you can revert a single file or all changes before committing.

Searching inside documents

The ⌘K search looks inside your documents, not just at their names. It matches headings, expressions, decision table cells, dictionary entries, data model properties, node names, and more, then deep-links you to the exact block or node. Use it to answer questions like “where do we reference customer.tier?” without opening files one by one.

Business and developer modes

The Developer mode switch in the editor header changes how rules are displayed:
  • Business mode (default off state) renders expressions as natural-language sentences - “applicant.employment is one of Employed, Self-employed” - using the labels from your dictionaries.
  • Developer mode shows the underlying ZEN expressions.
The mode is a personal display preference. It never changes what is stored or evaluated. See Natural language for how sentences map to expressions.
