Floating and docking windows

With the many features in Sound Forge, it is easy for the workspace to become cluttered. Docking windows allows you to keep more windows open while maintaining a greater degree of organization. You can choose to float or dock the windows listed in the View menu, including the Regions List, Playlist (available only in the full version of Sound Forge), and Time Display (available only in the full version of Sound Forge) windows.

You can dock windows individually or in a stack. When stacked, each window has a tab at the bottom with its name on it. Click the window’s tab to bring it to the top.
