Dock and undock panels and panel groups

You can move panels and panel groups as necessary, and arrange them so that they are floating or docked in the workspace.

Most panels can be docked only to the left or the right of the Document window area in the integrated workspace, while others (such as the Property inspector and the Insert bar) can be docked only to the upper or lower edge of the integrated window.

Note: You cannot undock the Files panel if you are in Expanded mode. To collapse the Files panel before undocking, click the Expand/Collapse button-—the right-most button at the top of the panel. If you close the Files panel while it’s undocked, it disappears from the interface. To retrieve it, press F8 or select Window > Files.

Undock a panel group

 Drag the panel group by its gripper  (on the left side of the panel group’s title bar) until its outline indicates that it’s no longer docked.
Note: If you undock the Property inspector, its format changes so that it no longer has a gripper bar or title bar, but you can click anywhere on the panel to drag it or redock it.

Minimize or restore a panel or panel group

 Click the underlined panel title to minimize a panel. Click again to restore it to full size.

Redock a panel or panel group

 Drag the panel group by its title bar to the left or right sides of the workspace until you see a dark black outline appear, and then let go. You may have to drag it upward to get the black outline so you can add it to the set of panels already displayed.
Note: Some panels, such as the Property inspector and Results, must dock above or below the Document window, not to the left or right.

Dock a panel group to other panel groups (floating workspace) or to the integrated window (Windows only)

 Drag the panel group by its gripper until its outline indicates that it’s docked.

Undock a panel from a panel group

 Select Group With > New Panel Group from the Options menu  in the panel group’s title bar.
You can also undock a panel by dragging it out of the panel group.

Dock a panel in another panel group

  1. Select the panel you want to move by clicking its tab.
  2. Select the destination panel group from the Group With submenu of the panel group’s Options menu.

    The Group With command’s name changes depending on the name of the active panel.

Drag a floating (undocked) panel group without docking it

 Drag the panel group by the bar above its title bar.

The panel group doesn’t dock as long as you don’t drag it by its gripper.
