Rearranging views</h1>
<p CLASS="Head"> The position of the Project Explorer (or any other) view in the Workbench window can
be changed.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p CLASS="Head"> Click in the title bar of the Project Explorer view and drag the
view across the Workbench window. Do not release the mouse button yet.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p CLASS="Head"> While still dragging the view around on the Workbench
window, note that various drop outlines appear. These drop outlines
indicate where the view will dock in relation to the view or editor
area underneath the cursor when the mouse button is released.</p>
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para"> Dock the Project Explorer in the stack with the Outline view and
notice the results of this action. Note the drop outline next to the tab of
the view you are dropping next to.</P>

<P CLASS="Para"> Click and drag the Project Explorer's title bar to re-dock the view as its
own view stack on top of the Outline view. Note the drop outline showing the orientation of the views
after the drop.

"detached" window (a view stack in its own window). Note the drop outline showing it will be outside the main workbench window.
