Each dev box project is represented as a Workspace in Remote Desktop. When you're working with multiple dev boxes, across multiple projects, you can use Remote Desktop to switch between them. To do this, you need to add the subscription URL for each workspace to Remote Desktop. With the Remote Desktop app, you can subscribe to multiple workspaces, allowing you to view and connect to all your dev boxes.
