Steps to Reproduce:

1. file => save workspace as | duplicate workspace

It is essential to replicate the organization of windows and tabs when duplicating the workspace in order to maintain consistency in project management and task structuring. Saving the different domains of an application, organized by tab, is crucial for the workflow. Multiple workspaces can contain groups of domains or groups of open folders to facilitate navigation and the visualization of APIs and coupled modules.

Technical Explanation:
The idea of "duplicating the organization of windows and tabs" in a workspace means replicating the interface and work configurations to ensure a smooth and consistent experience, minimizing the need for manual reorganization. This involves dynamic management of windows and tabs, which, when duplicated, should retain their original arrangement—such as specific groups of applications or resources—to avoid disrupting productivity.

"Saving the different domains of an application, organized by tab," refers to a persistence mechanism that records the states of these tabs. This allows for quick restoration of a complex work environment, ensuring workflow continuity, which is crucial for users navigating between complex tasks, API modules, or integrated services.

In this approach, duplicating the workspace includes not only saving the interface but also the settings and structures related to the open tabs , optimizing performance and clarity in project or system management, especially in interconnected systems.
