Organizing panel groups and panels
By default, Fireworks panels are docked in groups in the docking area on the right side of the
workspace. You can undock panel groups, add panels to a group, undock individual panels,
rearrange the order of docked panel groups, and collapse and close panel groups. You can also
open and close individual panels.
To undock or move a panel group:
■ Drag the panel gripper on the upper left corner away from the panel docking area on the
right side of the screen.
To dock a panel group:
■ Drag the panel gripper onto the panel docking area.
As you drag a panel or panel group over the panel docking area, a placement preview line
or rectangle shows where it would be placed among the groups.
To collapse or expand a panel group or panel, do one of the following:
■ Click the title of the panel group or panel.
■ Click the expander arrow in the upper left corner of the panel group or panel.
To undock a panel from a panel group:
■ Select Group With > New Panel Group from the Options menu in the panel group’s title
bar. (The Group With command’s name changes depending on the name of the active
panel.) The panel appears in a new panel group of its own.
NOTE
The title bar is still visible when the panel group or panel is collapsed.
