 A workspace always maps to a folder on your hard drive. That folder will contain workspace settings (in a {{{.metadata}}} directory) and subdirectories for each project in the workspace. 
 
-Unfortunately workspaces are not portable. The ref design .zip file contains all the necessary project files to populate a workspace, but you must initialize your workspace first and import these project files manually. We recommend creating your workspace in the {{{SDK/SDK_Workspace}}} subdirectory of the XPS project. This directory already contains the project files for the ref design.
+Unfortunately workspaces are not portable. The ref design .zip file contains all the necessary project files to populate a workspace, but you must initialize your workspace first and import these project files manually. We recommend using the blank workspace folder in the root directory of the XPS project.
 
 In the instructions below we use {{{<xps_proj>}}} to represent the path where you expanded the ref design .zip. If the XPS project file is in {{{C:\work\WARP\OFDM_RefDesign_FPGAv2_v17.0\system.xmp}}}, then you should use {{{C:\work\WARP\OFDM_RefDesign_FPGAv2_v17.0\}}} in place of {{{<xps_proj>}}} below.
