Vertical Docking

You can now dock palettes and panels to the vertical edge of the application window. The panels are the single tabbed containers that let you access content libraries, commands, controls, and settings. Panels are stored in palettes. Undocking palettes and panels detaches them from other parts of the workspace, so you can move them. To perform docking, you need to grab a panel’s tab or a palette’s header bar.

The grab area of a panel is its tab (1); the grab area of a palette is its header bar (2) or the blank space to the right of the tabs (3).

To dock or undock a palette

•

Perform a task from the following table.


To	Do the following
Dock a palette	Drag the palette header bar, or the blank space to right of the tabs, to the edge of the application window. The palette snaps into place when it lines up with the edge.
Undock a palette	Drag the blank area to the right of the panel tabs away from the edge of the application window.
Dock a panel	Drag the panel tab to the edge of the application window. The panel snaps into place when it lines up with the edge.
Undock a panel	Drag the panel tab away from the application window.

If there’s not enough space along the vertical edge of the application window (for example, if you have a lot of expanded palettes), you may not be able to dock a panel or a palette. Collapse one or multiple panels to create sufficient space for docking.

You cannot dock panels or palettes with toolbars.
