Arranging panels
You can rearrange the order in which panels appear within panel groups. You can also create new
panel groups and dock panels to existing panel groups. If you want a panel to appear on its own,
separated from other panel groups, you can float the panel. This is particularly useful for panels
that you want access to all the time, for example the Help panel or the Actions panel.
To move a panel:
•
Drag the panel by its gripper (on the left side of the title bar).
To add a panel to an existing panel group:
•
Drag the panel by its gripper onto another panel.
To float a panel:
•
Drag the panel by its gripper and move it away from other panels.
To create a new panel group:
•
Drag the panel by its gripper, away from other panel groups. Add additional panels to
the group.
Using panel sets
You can create panel sets in custom arrangements, and you can save these custom panel layouts.
You can reset panel display to the default layout (displaying the Color Swatches, Actions, and
Components panels and the Color Mixer to the right of the application window) or to a custom
layout that you have saved previously.
