Collapsing palettes into side tabs


    You can collapse palettes into tabs on the side of the screen to optimize desktop space, and then quickly slide them open by clicking the tabs. Clicking the tab again collapses the palette.

    Note: You can collapse the Objects palette into a side tab only when it is displayed horizontally.

To collapse a palette into side tabs:

    Select the palette's name and drag it to the left or right side of your computer screen.

    Note: In Mac OS, you cannot drag the palette to the side of the screen that contains the Dock.

To slide open or close the collapsed palette:

    Click the side tab.

To separate the collapsed palette from the screen edge:

    Drag the tab out to the center of your screen or into a palette group.

To collapse multiple palettes into a side tab:

    Collapse a palette, and then drag another palette's tab over the tab of the collapsed palette on the edge of the screen.

To adjust the size of a collapsed palette:

    Drag the bottom of the palette up or down.
