How can 6 workspaces be set sing Compiz?

I want to set a desired number of workspaces in Ubuntu MATE 16.04, please help.

Do you currently have workspace switcher on the panel?

Install Compiz Config setting manager

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

And Workspaces is on General Settings named as Desktop Size

The answer is probably good, however you should improve it by adding a bit more details. Especially a screenshot would be a good idea. Moreover, I suggest you use Italic, not UPPERCASE, to write menu entries.

Helped me on Debian Mate (with right click on workspaces grid instead left click). I have no idea why I didn't noticed beforehand, that workspaces switch is an applet and can be configured that way...
