Displaying and updating workspaces in a user interface

A computer program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer program product including instructions that, when executed, generate on a display device of a computer system including a touch-sensitive surface a graphical user interface for presenting virtual workspaces and perform the following operations:

• concurrently displaying, in a user interface on the display device:
• a plurality of workspace images that correspond to different virtual workspaces, including a first workspace image corresponding to a first virtual workspace, a second workspace image corresponding to a second virtual workspace, and a third workspace image corresponding to a third virtual workspace, that are available to a user of the computer system, and
• a view of the first virtual workspace;
• while concurrently displaying the plurality of workspace images and the view of the first virtual workspace, receiving user input comprising a swipe input in a respective direction on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the swipe input is detected at a location that corresponds to a location in the user interface that is away from the plurality of workspace images;
• and
• in response to the user input:
• in accordance with a determination that the respective direction is a first direction, replacing the view of the first virtual workspace with a view of the second virtual workspace while maintaining display of the plurality of workspace images, including the first workspace image, the second workspace image, and the third workspace image;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the respective direction is a second direction that is different from the first direction, replacing the view of the first virtual workspace with a view of the third virtual workspace while maintaining display of the plurality of workspace images, including the first workspace image, the second workspace image, and the third workspace image.

A system comprising:

• a display device;
• a touch-sensitive surface;
• a computing device in communication with the display device and the one or more input devices,
• wherein the computing device is configured to perform at least the following:
• concurrently displaying, in a user interface on the display device:
• a plurality of workspace images that correspond to different virtual workspaces, including a first workspace image corresponding to a first virtual workspace, a second workspace image corresponding to a second virtual workspace, and a third workspace image corresponding to a third virtual workspace, that are available to a user of the computing device, and
• a view of the first virtual workspace;
• while concurrently displaying the plurality of workspace images and the view of the first virtual workspace, receiving user input comprising a swipe input in a respective direction on the touch-sensitive surface, wherein the swipe input is detected at a location that corresponds to a location in the user interface that is away from the plurality of workspace images;
• and
• in response to the user input:
• in accordance with a determination that the respective direction is a first direction, replacing the view of the first virtual workspace with a view of the second virtual workspace while maintaining display of the plurality of workspace images, including the first workspace image, the second workspace image, and the third workspace image;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the respective direction is a second direction that is different from the first direction, replacing the view of the first virtual workspace with a view of the third virtual workspace while maintaining display of the plurality of workspace images, including the first workspace image, the second workspace image, and the third workspace image.
