You already know what projects are, but you may have no idea what the difference to a Session is, or what a Working Set is. In this chapter, you'll get an overview of these terms, and learn how to use them.

Before I explain the details of each subject, I will give you a short overview.
 
First, you know what files are. These are the bottom-most leaves of the tree. Files can be children of working sets, or projects, or both. Working sets are collections of files, as projects are, but working sets may contain files from different projects. And finally, working sets and projects are parts of a session, the root of the tree.
 
As most developers only work on one single project (and thus only a single session), we'll start with files and working sets, continue with handling multiple projects in one session, and finish in handling multiple sessions.
 
== Files and Working Sets ==
Working Sets are a little tricky to handle if you don't know them, but they're pretty useful whenever you have opened many files and want to group them.
