An undocked window is one that has been separated from the program window. Each undocked window can
be moved around the screen or screens as desired. Although undocked windows cannot be pinned, they can be
resized and grouped.
A window group is a way to have more than one window occupy the same amount of space on the screen. When
windows are grouped, each window is represented by a tab at the bottom of the group. In a group, click a tab to
display that window. You can group or ungroup window as necessary and save custom workspaces. After changing
window positions, you can save your settings as a custom workspace.
Auto Hide Position
When you auto hide a window, it collapses against a specific side of the canvas - Top, Left, Right, or Bottom.
The side to which it collapses is determined by the docking position. So, for example, if you dock a window to
the left of canvas, it collapses to the left.
The Shortcut Menu
Right-clicking a dockable window displays a shortcut menu of available commands. If you right-click a single
item, or select one or more items and right-click, this menu contains commands related to the items. If you
right-click an area that contains no items or data, the menu contains commands related to the dockable window,
if appropriate.
