Pin a Tool Window


Most tool windows support an Auto Hide feature - the ability of the tool window to "slide" out of the way and only show a tab at the edge of the application window. When a window is auto-hidden or "pinned", its name appears on a tab at the edge of the application.

 

Note: Tool windows that are "pinned" may temporarily slide into view when the window has focus. To hide the window again, select an item outside of the current window. When the window loses focus, it slides back out of view.
