Detaching and returning palette tabs
Individual tabs can be detached from multiple-tab palettes and positioned as needed. These detached tabs become a new temporary palette. Multiple detached tabs from the same palette family can be connected to each other while away from the home palette, or each can be positioned independently. Detached tabs can be floating or docked like any palette (see Docking palettes).
Tabs can be attached and connected to each other only within a palette family that shares the same home palette.
To detach, connect, and return individual tabs from multiple-tab palettes, do any of the following:
To detach a tab, click a tab label and drag it off the palette to the desired location.
To connect detached tabs from the same palette family, drag one detached tab to another until a blue highlight indicates they can be connected (Windows) or they snap together into a single temporary palette (Mac).
To return a tab to its home palette, drag it to the palette or click the Utility menu on the palette's title bar and select Dock [tab name] here or Dock all tabs here. Returned tabs are automatically placed in the right-most position on the tab bar, but they can be dragged to the desired place in the tab sequence. On Mac, if you drag a tab back to the palette, you can sequence it while you return it.
The Dock all tabs here command only returns tabs that belong to the home palette. Dock [tab name] here and Dock all tabs here also display all tabs.
To resequence tabs that share a palette, click a tab label and drag it right or left.
To prevent tabs from being detached, connected, returned, or reordered, select Lock tabs from the Utility menu.
