Creating Toolbars & Multiple Document Windows

Turning a Panel into a Docked Toolbar

While toolbars sometimes display fewer options than a panel, they do save screen space. You can turn a panel (floating or docked on the side of the side) into a toolbar by dragging the name tab of a panel onto the toolbar at the top or bottom of the screen. Not all panels can become toolbars.
