Viewing panels and panel groups

You can display or hide panel groups and panels in the workspace as necessary.

To expand or collapse a panel group, do one of the following:

• Click the expander arrow on the left side of the panel group’s title bar.
• Click the panel group’s title.

To close a panel group so that it isn’t visible on your screen:

• Select Close Panel Group from the Options menu in the panel group’s title bar.

  The panel group disappears from your screen.

To open a panel group or panel that isn’t visible on your screen:

• Select the Window menu, then select a panel name from the menu.

  A check mark next to an item in the Window menu indicates that the named item is currently open (though it may be hidden behind other windows).

  TIP

  If you can’t find a panel, inspector, or window that’s marked as open, select Window > Arrange Panels to neatly lay out all open panels.

To select a panel within an expanded panel group:

• Click the panel’s name.

To see a panel group’s Options menu if it isn’t showing:

• Expand the panel group by clicking its name or its expander arrow.

  The Options menu is visible only when the panel group is expanded.

  TIP

  Some options are available in the panel group’s context menu even when the group is collapsed; right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the panel group’s title bar to view the context menu.
