Docking and Undocking Tool Windows and Meter Windows

Tool windows and meter windows can be used as docked windows, as floating windows, or as slide-out windows. You can freely drag around the windows and dock them to various locations.

  • To undock a tool window or a meter window, drag the corresponding tab to another position.

    Now the tool window or meter window is a floating window, which you can freely move around.
