not displayed initially but can be opened from the Window menu. 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 close a panel, do one of the following:

docking area on the right side of the screen.
To dock a panel group:
