### 13.3.2. Customizing the Window Layout in EKM Studio

The main editing window is a fixed window and cannot be moved or closed. The Elements and Properties windows are “dockable” windows, which means that they can be closed, detached from the main application window (that is, floated), maximized to fill the entire application window, and minimized to the side or bottom of the application window. Floating windows are retained when switching repositories. When you re-dock a window, it returns to the last location in which it was docked and may not be visible in your current view.

You can customize the display of windows using the controls in the upper right corner of each window.
