Chapter 1: Exploring SharePoint Designer
When both toolbars and task panes are docked to the same region, toolbars are always placed closest to the
edge of the window. When docked to the top or bottom, toolbars fill the entire width of the window, while
task panes — like the Behaviors task pane in Figure 1 - 24 — sit between anything docked at the sides.
Toolbars can be placed on multiple levels within a docking region, each level farther away from the
docking edge. Multiple toolbars can occupy the same level. If a toolbar docked on a given level cannot fit
in its allocated area, the items in the bar are hidden and added to a fly - out menu, as shown in the upper -
right corner of Figure 1 - 24 . Floating toolbars, such as the Pictures toolbar in the figure, always show all
of their available items, but will rearrange them as needed to fit a resized window.
All task panes in a docking region are arrayed along the edge of the region, inside any toolbars.
In addition, you can place multiple task panes in the same space. These cohabiting task panes are
selectable via tabs in that space, as are the Tag Properties and CSS Properties task panes in the figure.
You can maximize a task pane to take up its entire docking zone, and restore it to its former size.
After showing, hiding, and moving task panes around extensively, you may find it difficult to locate a
particular item. SharePoint Designer offers a quick way to reset the task panes to a known state: Select
Task Panes
Reset Workspace Layout. The task panes return to the state shown in Figure 1 - 25 .
