Docking windows
By docking windows, you can keep frequently-used windows open but out of the way while working
on a project. You can dock windows and panes in two different areas in SONAR:
• Top/bottom/left/right edge. The Control Bar, Inspector and Browser can be docked along
SONAR’s edges.
• MultiDock. Most editing views and the Browser can be docked in the MultiDock. By default, the
MultiDock appears below the Track view. For details see “MultiDock” on page 1046.
The SONAR interface consists of five primary UI elements, each with its own default location. The
following list shows the types of windows that can be docked in each location, and the default for
each location.
• Top edge:
• Control Bar (default)
• Bottom edge:
• Control Bar
• MultiDock (default)
• Right edge:
• Browser (default)
• Inspector
Note 1: The MultiDock is a container that can host one or more other views. The MultiDock
appears automatically when you dock a view at the bottom of the Track view. For details, see
“MultiDock” on page 1046.
Note 2: The Control Bar and MultiDock can both be docked at the bottom at the same time. In
this case, the MultiDock appears above the Control Bar.
