Docking and Undocking Panels
You can dock and undock, or temporarily attach and detach, panels or panel groups. You can display panels using the Window menu, and then drag them around the program window to dock or undock them to other panels. You can even dock or undock the Properties panel. However, document panels cannot be docked. When you drag a panel over a dockable area, an outline around the target dock appears. When you release the mouse button, the panel snaps to the dockable area and stays there until you move it. You can even drag a panel tab to a new position. If you attempt to dock a panel over an undockable area, no outline appears.
Dock a Panel
- Position the pointer on the panel tab or panel set header bar.
- Drag the window away from the panel to a panel.
- Add to Panel. Drag to a panel until a blue rectangle appears around the panel.
- Append to Panel. Drag to a panel until a blue line appears along the side of the panel.
Undock a Panel
- Position the pointer on the panel tab or panel set header bar.
- Drag the window away from the panel to an empty area of the Dreamweaver window.
