When you undock a panel in a floating window, you can add panels to the window and modify it similarly to the application window. You can use floating windows to use a secondary monitor, or to create workspaces like the workspaces in earlier versions of Adobe applications. Select the panel you want to undock (if it's not visible, choose it from the Window menu), and then do one of the following: Choose Undock Panel or Undock Frame from the panel menu. Undock Frame undocks the panel group. Hold down Ctrl (Windows®) or Command (Mac OS®), and drag the panel or group from its current location. When you release the mouse button, the panel or group appears in a new floating window. Drag the panel or group outside the application window. (If the application window is maximized, drag the panel to the Windows taskbar.) Resize panel groups To quickly maximize a panel beneath the pointer, press the ` (accent grave) key. (The accent grave is the unshifted character under the tilde, ~, on standard US keyboards.) Press the key again to return the panel to its original size. When you drag the divider between panel groups, all groups that share the divider are resized. 1. Do either of the following: To resize either horizontally or vertically, position the pointer between two panel groups. The pointer becomes a double arrow . To resize in both directions at once, position the pointer at the intersection between three or more panel groups. The pointer becomes a four-way arrow . 2. Hold down the mouse button, and drag to resize the panel groups. Dragging divider between panel groups to resize them horizontally A. Original group with resize pointer B. Resized groups Open, close, and show panels and windows Even if a panel is open, it may be out of sight, beneath other panels. Choosing a panel from the Window menu opens it and brings it to the front of its group. When you close a panel group in the application window, the other groups resize to use the newly available space. When you close a floating window, the panels within it close, too. To open or close a panel, choose the panel from the Window menu. To close a panel or window, click its Close button . To open or close a panel, use its keyboard shortcut. If a frame contains multiple panels, place the pointer over a tab and roll the mouse scroll wheel forward or backward to change which panel is active. If a frame contains more grouped panels than can be shown at once, drag the scroll bar that appears above the tabs.

When you undock a panel in a floating window, you can add panels to the window and modify it similarly to the application window. You can use

floating windows to use a secondary monitor, or to create workspaces like the workspaces in earlier versions of Adobe applications.

Select the panel you want to undock (if it’s not visible, choose it from the Window menu), and then do one of the following:

Choose Undock Panel or Undock Frame from the panel menu. Undock Frame undocks the panel group.

Hold down Ctrl (Windows®) or Command (Mac OS®), and drag the panel or group from its current location. When you release the mouse

button, the panel or group appears in a new floating window.

Drag the panel or group outside the application window. (If the application window is maximized, drag the panel to the Windows taskbar.)

Resize panel groups

To quickly maximize a panel beneath the pointer, press the ` (accent grave) key. (The accent grave is the unshifted character under the tilde, ~,

on standard US keyboards.) Press the key again to return the panel to its original size.

When you drag the divider between panel groups, all groups that share the divider are resized.

1. Do either of the following:

To resize either horizontally or vertically, position the pointer between two panel groups. The pointer becomes a double arrow

To resize in both directions at once, position the pointer at the intersection between three or more panel groups. The pointer becomes a

four

way arrow

2. Hold down the mouse button, and drag to resize the panel groups.

Open, close, and show panels and windows

Even if a panel is open, it may be out of sight, beneath other panels. Choosing a panel from the Window menu opens it and brings it to the front of

its group.

When you close a panel group in the application window, the other groups resize to use the newly available space. When you close a floating

window, the panels within it close, too.

To open or close a panel, choose the panel from the Window menu.

To close a panel or window, click its Close button

To open or close a panel, use its keyboard shortcut.

If a frame contains multiple panels, place the pointer over a tab and roll the mouse scroll wheel forward or backward to change which panel

is active.

If a frame contains more grouped panels than can be shown at once, drag the scroll bar that appears above the tabs.
