To open a panel in a floating window
You can open a panel in a floating window. You can add panels to the floating window or otherwise modify it, as you
do the application window. You can use floating windows to create a workspace like those in earlier versions of
Adobe applications, or to make use of a secondary monitor.
❖
Select the panel you want to open (if it's not visible, choose it from the Window menu), and then do one of the
following:
•
Choose Undock Panel or Undock Frame from the panel menu. Undock Frame undocks the panel group.
•
Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS, After Effects only) and drag the panel or group from its
current location. When you release the mouse, the panel or group appears in a new floating window.
•
Drag the panel or group outside the application window. (If the application window is maximized, drag the panel
to the Windows task bar.)
To close a panel or window
When you close a panel group in the application window, the other groups are resized to make use of the newly
available space. When you close a floating window, the panels within it close, too.
❖
Click the Close button
To resize panel groups
The dividers between panel groups have resize handles. You resize a group in one direction at a time, either vertically
or horizontally. When you drag a divider between panel groups, all groups that share the divider are resized. For
example, suppose your workspace contains three panel groups stacked vertically. If you drag the divider between the
bottom two, they are resized, but the topmost group doesn't change.
You can quickly maximize a panel beneath the pointer by pressing the tilde (~) key. (Do not press the Shift key.) Press
the tilde key again to return the panel to its original size.
Position the pointer over the divider between the panel groups that you want to resize. The pointer changes

Working with multiple monitors
You can use multiple monitors to increase the available screen space. When you work with multiple monitors, the
application window appears on the main monitor, and you place a floating window on the second monitor. Monitor
configurations are stored in the workspace.
