Showing and Hiding Docked Windows

Every docked window has an icon to control the display properties of the window.
To show or hide a docked window, click the icon.

AutoShow and AutoHide Docked Windows

You can click the edge of a hidden docked window to open the window. The docked window closes automatically when you move the mouse pointer outside of the window. Multiple docked windows act as a single window in AutoShow/AutoHide mode.

Drag and Drop

If you drag an object over the edge of a hidden docked window, the window opens in AutoShow mode.
