To Draw, set your Active Layer to designated layer for objects to be drawn on. 

Example: If I want to draw objects to the Example Layer, I will click the dropdown and select Example Service->Example Layer. 

What is the Workspace Layer?

The Workspace layer is a sketch pad layer. Anything drawn on that layer will be deleted at the end of your session.
