Workspace overview
Docks, groups and stack free-floating panels
If you remove all panels from a dock, the dock disappears. You can create new docks by moving panels to drop zones next to existing docks or at the edges of the workspace.
- To remove a panel, click its close icon (the X at the upper-right corner of the tab), or deselect it from the Window menu.
- To add a panel, select it from the Window menu and dock it wherever you wish.
To move a panel into a group, drag the panel’s tab to the highlighted drop zone at the top of the group. To rearrange panels in a group, drag a panel’s tab to a new location in the group. To remove a panel from a group so that it floats freely, drag the panel by its tab outside the group. To make a panel appear at the front of its group, click its tab.
To move grouped panels together, drag their title bar (above the tabs).
When you drag a panel out of its dock but not into a drop zone, the panel floats freely, allowing you to position it anywhere in the workspace. Panels may also float in the workspace when first selected from the Window menu. You can stack free-floating panels or panel groups together so that they move as a unit when you drag the topmost title bar. (Panels that are part of a dock cannot be stacked or moved as a unit in this way.)
To stack free-floating panels, drag a panel by its tab to the drop zone at the bottom of another panel.
- To change the stacking order, drag a panel up or down by its tab.
Note: Be sure to release the tab over the narrow drop zone between panels, rather than the broad drop zone in a title bar.
- To remove a panel or panel group from the stack, so that it floats by itself, drag it out by its tab or title bar.
