The panel group
The panel group sits on the right of the workspace and features multiple
panels docked, or grouped, together. In the default workspace, the Color and
Swatches panels are docked together.
The panel group can’t be freely repositioned in the workspace. However, it
can be resized or collapsed down to icon view using the double arrows
found in its upper-right corner).
You can undock panels from the panel group. Simply click and drag a panel
away from the group by its title tab. To dock a panel into the group, drag it
into the panel group.
Managing individual panels
You can position each panel individually anywhere in the workspace by
dragging it from its top bar or title tab. You can find additional appearance
options under the panel’s flyout menu, accessible from the icon in its upper-
right (see Figure 1-4). The flyout menu also provides another way of getting
to the panel’s primary tasks.
