Floating and docking windows

Your workspace can become cluttered quickly if you have several windows and toolbars visible.

You can create multiple window docks to organize your Sound Forge windows. These docks can be anchored to the perimeter of the Sound Forge workspace, or they can float over the workspace or on a secondary monitor.
