Change workspace from function to base

I would like to switch workspaces from a function workspace to Matlab's base workspace. To illustrate, I can run one of my script files and place a breakpoint within an embedded function. The workspace window contains the variables local to that function. How do I get back to my script's workspace (base) without just stepping through the remainder of the function until it goes back to the main script or pressing the quit debugging button? I don't need to use these variables in the embedded function, since I've already passed in the parameters I need, this would just be to visually check what's going on in the base workspace at that moment.

There's a dropdown menu named 'stack' (IIRC) that contains workspaces in each function on the just above the editor.

Sorry, I don't see what you're talking about. Could you be more specific? I don't see anything named stack above the editor window.

As well as the menu option described by Mario Malic and Matt J, you can also use these commands:

Both of these approaches are explained in the MATLAB documentation:

I don't see anything named stack above the editor window.

You will not see it until you are at a breakpoint, but once you are it will be here:

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
