Dock and undock panels
A dock is a collection of panels or panel groups displayed together, generally in a vertical orientation. You dock and
undock panels by moving them into and out of a dock.
Note: Docking is not the same as stacking. A stack is a collection of free-floating panels or panel groups, joined top to
bottom.
•
To dock a panel, drag it by its tab into the dock, at the top, bottom, or in between other panels.
•
To dock a panel group, drag it by its title bar (the solid empty bar above the tabs) into the dock.
•
To remove a panel or panel group, drag it out of the dock by its tab or title bar. You can drag it into another dock
or make it free-floating.
