Synchronize workspaces

That is indeed done by that Addon.

Haven't seen the Course yet, so I can't tell if it was mentioned before. I couldn't find a mention of this in the introduction and set up Lesson (Chapter 1), but it might be somewhere later...

Perhaps Chunck has been using it since forever and doesn't remember what the default behavior feels like. It's like when you drive a 1990's Toyota Corolla and you switch to a Tesla, you'll be forgetting that Corolla in no time. 

Hey there!

Yes, I do have the Synchronize Workspaces addon enabled, but I did not mention it so you didn't miss anything!

Like Omar mentioned, it's mostly for convenience rather than functionality so it totally slipped my mind to mention. I've added the link below to the extensions page for anyone interested! I can recommend it highly, as it synchronizes your 3D viewport camera and visibility of objects in the viewport across your workspaces.
