Detaching a View

You can detach any number of views from a perspective and display them as separate windows that float on the perspective.

When you maximize pages in the editor view or design canvas, all detached views remain open and visible. However, detached views do not remain visible when you change perspectives.

  1. Right-click the tab of the view you want to detach and select Detached.

    The view reappears as a standalone window.

  2. Drag the view to the desired location.
  3. To reanchor the view, right-click the tab of the view and unselect Detached.

    The view is reattached to its default location.
