You can change the position of all views in the workbench with the exception of the CICSplex Explorer view, which cannot be moved. You can move views in their current tab group, or into a different tab group.
This task demonstrates how to change the position of a view in the current perspective:
You can move a group of stacked views, known as a tab group, by positioning your cursor in the empty space to the right of the view tabs (shown by the red arrow) and following the steps above.
You can drag individual views or tab groups outside the workbench. When you release the mouse button, a new window is opened containing the view or views. You can move or size the window, and it is always displayed in front of the workbench window.
You can also move a view or a tab group by using its menu. Right-click the view's tab, click Move > View or Move > Tab Group and drag the view or tab group to the new position as explained above.
