By default, most panes are docked, or embedded, in their tab. You can separate a pane from its tab, so it can be moved outside of the Workbench window. When you dock a pane, it returns to its place on its usual tab.
When you float a pane, you separate it from its tab, so it is still available when you switch tabs. This is especially useful when you want to see a pane that is not available as part of a tab. For example, the Files pane is not visible in the Parameter Set tab, but you can float the Files pane so you can see it while working with project parameters.
To float a pane, use one of the following options:
Right-click the header bar of the pane and from context menu, select .
From the Windowing drop-down menu on the pane header bar, select .
On the header bar of the pane, click
.Tear the pane from its dock by dragging the header bar of the pane to another location.
