Docking palettes

To dock a palette:
Do one of the following:
Drag a palette to the Docking pane and drop it when the palette window expands to fill
the pane.
Click the Docking button located in the upper right corner of the palette.
To remove a docked palette:

To view a docked palette:

Palettes that are docked in the Docking pane when you quit Canvas will be docked the next
time you launch Canvas.
