Panels
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.
The Panels dropdown menu in the top toolbar, showing the list of available panels.

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.
To return a panel to the sidebar, close the popup window. The panel docks back into the sidebar automatically.
The dock menu dropdown on a panel header, showing the "Open in new window" option.
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.
