The Editor includes a set of side panels that give you access to tools and information alongside the main segment grid. Each panel covers a specific task: looking up translations, checking terminology, running quality checks, previewing documents, and more. You can open multiple panels at the same time, reorder them, and collapse the ones you do not need right now.
You can stack multiple panels vertically on the right side. Use the up/down arrows in each panel header to reorder them, and the collapse toggle to minimize panels you want to keep open but out of the way. You can also detach any panel into a separate browser window for multi-monitor setups (see Opening Panels in Separate Windows below). Several panels also have keyboard shortcuts that are configurable in Preferences > Shortcuts.

Opening Panels in Separate Windows
If you work with multiple monitors or need more screen space for the translation grid, you can open any panel in its own browser window.
Follow these steps to detach a panel:
-
Click the dock menu dropdown on the panel header.
-
Select Open in new window.
The panel opens in a separate browser window that you can move, resize, and position on any monitor. The detached panel retains full functionality: filtering, searching, TM lookups, QA checks, and all other panel features work exactly as they do in the sidebar.
When all panels have been detached, the sidebar hides automatically to give the translation grid the full width of the screen. The sidebar reappears when you dock a panel back.

A Memory Finder panel opened in a separate popup window, positioned on a second monitor alongside the main Editor window.
Popup windows close automatically when you refresh or close the main Editor window. This is a browser limitation. If your browser blocks the popup, allow popups for the Editor site and try again.
Customizing panels
The Editor arranges panels into three areas: the two sidebar zones (upper and lower) and the bottom zone below the grid. You can decide which panels appear in each area and how they are laid out, and the Editor remembers your setup.
Show or hide panels
Each area has a menu to show or hide its panels. Use it to keep only the panels you need in view. You cannot hide the last visible panel in an area, so a zone never becomes empty by accident.
Move panels between areas
Drag a panel's tab from one area to another, or use the panel header actions Dock to sidebar and Dock to bottom to move it. You can reorder tabs within an area, and minimize a panel to its tab strip to free up space.
The bottom zone
The bottom zone below the grid is a full multi-tab workspace, on par with the sidebar zones. It hosts Preview, Assets, and Filtering with AI by default, and accepts any panel you move down from the sidebar. Every panel there can be moved back up with Dock to sidebar.
The collapsed sidebar rail
When you collapse the sidebar, it does not disappear. A narrow rail of panel icons stays on the right edge so you can see at a glance which panels you had open. Click any icon to reopen the sidebar to its previous width with that panel active. Hovering an icon shows the panel name and its keyboard shortcut, and the panel you last used in each zone keeps a subtle highlight. If you have no panels open at all, the sidebar stays fully hidden.
Reset the layout
Reset panel layout restores the default panels to their areas and splits the two sidebar zones evenly. It becomes available only once you have changed the layout, so you can always tell whether you are on the default arrangement.
Your panel layout is saved per user and separately for each job, project, and memory, so each context reopens the way you left it.
Navigating panel lists with the keyboard
You can work through the result lists in the Memory Finder, Term Finder, Comments, and Revisions panels entirely from the keyboard:
|
Action |
Keys |
|---|---|
|
Move focus from the search box into the results list |
Tab |
|
Move to the previous or next item (loads its details) |
Up / Down arrow |
|
Jump to the first or last item |
Home / End |
|
Move from the focused item to its action buttons (Insert, Resolve, and so on) |
Tab |
|
Trigger the focused action |
Enter or Space |
|
Return to the search box |
Escape |
These use standard keyboard behavior, so there is nothing to configure.
