or window:
•To undock the Policy Object Manager from the current view in the Configuration Manager window,
click the Undock Window button in the upper right corner of the pane’s title bar.
•To put the floating window back as a pane in the Configuration Manager window, click the Dock
Frame button in the upper right corner of the Policy Object Manager window.
•To close either the pane or the floating window, click the Close button in its upper right corner.
