Workspace settings

When I reinstalled 18.04 recently I changed the settings to have the workspace only operate on the primary monitor. I do like this behaviour. But I just went to check to see what other settings were available and for the life of me I am unable to find ANY workspace settings anywhere.

Where are the workspace settings now located?

as pointed out by PRATAP, it's available in the gnome tweaks tool which I had forgotten I'd installed.

I have gnome-flashback, gnome-session-flashback, and compiz (including compizconfig-settings-manager) installed on my 18.04 system. When I use Compiz this setting can be found instead under Applications->System Tools->Preferences->CompizConfig Settings Manager->General Options->Desktop Size. Changing the "Preferences" settings from the desktop switcher has no effect, and there is no "Workspaces" entry down the left hand side in gnome-tweak-tool.
