You can drag windows into a different position in the view. You can also drag windows out of the view and onto your computer desktop and work with them there.

To move a window back into its default location, double-click the window's title bar.

When you are dragging a window, direction indicators appear on screen. They show you the possible locations where the window can be docked. This is what the indicators look like:
