Embedding Panels

Each panel, whether docked or floating, is a container that allows other panels to share the same space. This enables you to use the available workspace efficiently.

To embed one panel within another:

1. Click the panel's header, and drag the panel over to the destination panel. The destination panel's Docking Assistant is displayed:
   
   

2. Release the mouse button when the cursor is over:

    To embed the panel below those already displayed;
    To embed the panel above those already displayed;
    To embed the panel to the left of those already displayed;
    To embed the panel to the right of those already displayed;
    To embed the panel as a tab.
   
   If the destination panel is already tabbed, the panel you are relocating is added as a new tab. If not, two new tabs are created. The tab associated with the relocated panel is selected.
   
   When the cursor is over a drop target in the Docking Assistant, its corresponding space is shaded blue. This provides a preview of the new layout.
