Workspace layout overview

The Dreamweaver workspace lets you view documents and object properties. The workspace also places many of the most common operations in toolbars so that you can quickly make changes to your documents.

In Windows®, Dreamweaver provides an all‑in‑one-window integrated layout. In the integrated workspace, all windows and panels are integrated into a single larger application window.

On Mac OS®, Dreamweaver can display multiple documents in a single window with tabs that identify each document. Dreamweaver can also display a floating workspace in which each document appears in its own individual window. Panel groups are initially docked together, but can be undocked into their own windows. When panel groups are docked and the document area is maximized, resizing or showing and hiding panels auto-sizes the main document, just as it does on Windows.
