The document group contains all loaded documents. You will find the document group in the middle of the user interface.
Use either the buttons on the Window toolbar, or the commands in the Window menu, to create new document groups and to arrange them on your monitor.

Setting up new document groups
The setting up of a second document group makes sense when, for example, you want to compare two images on the monitor. Then load an image into one document group and the other image into the newly-set-up document group.
1.Load the two images that you want to compare with each other.
2.Use the Window > Split/Unsplit > Document Group (Right) 
command, to set up a new document group to the right of the current one.
This command is only available when the active document group contains at least two documents.
3.Alternatively you can use the Window > Split/Unsplit > Document Group (Bottom) 
command, to set up a new document group below the current one.
4.A newly set up document group contains the document that was active when this command was accessed.
Moving documents between document groups
There are several ways of moving documents between document groups. A dashed frame will show you all of the new positions that are possible for the document group.
Moving document
1.Click the document title and drag the document with the left mouse key depressed onto the target document group.
Moving a document to a new document window
2.Click the document title and drag the document with the left mouse key depressed onto the target document group.
3.Before you release the left mouse button, press the [Shift] key.
4.By doing this you'll make blue arrows appear as positioning aids, at the top, bottom, left and right of the document group.
4.Drag the document onto one of the blue arrows, then release your mouse button.
5.In this way you'll divide the target document group into two groups.
Moving document
5.Activate the Documents tool window.
6.Select the image to be moved in the tool window and drag it to the target document group.
Note: To display an image in two document groups simultaneously, start with the Window > New Window command to open an additional document window for the image. Now move the new document window to another document group.
Creating an arbitrary arrangement of document groups
You can create as many document groups as you like and arrange them in different ways. To do so, use the commands in the Window > Split/Unsplit menu several times.
By using the following step-by-step instructions you can put the arrangement shown below into effect.
1.Load or create at least three documents. Use, for example, the [Ctrl + Alt + T] shortcut to create a test image.
2.Activate the Window toolbar. To do this, use, e.g., the View > Toolbars > Window command.
3.Click the Split/Unsplit Document Group (Right) button.
4.Activate the left document group. To do so, click in the left document group once.
5.Click the Split/Unsplit Document Group (Right) button once more.
6.Activate the document group in the middle.
7.Load another image into the middle document group.
8.Click the Split/Unsplit Document Group (Bottom) button.
Merging document groups
There are several possible ways of combining two document groups. Then, all of the documents that were loaded in the separate document groups will be contained in the new document group.
1.Use the Window > Split/Unsplit > Document Group (Right) command to set up a new document group to the right of the current one.
2.Click the button with the hand 
in one of the two document groups.
With the left mouse button depressed, drag the document group onto an existing one.
3.The mouse pointer will change its shape 
.
With the left mouse button depressed, drag the mouse pointer to the center of the tool window. A dashed frame shows you where the document group will be moved to if you release the mouse button.
Floating a document group
The document group is normally docked at a defined position in the user interface. You can, however, change this position. It makes sense, for example, to release the document group from its docked position to enable you to drag it onto the other screen, if your system is equipped with two monitors.
Prerequisite: You can only release document groups from their docked position in the expert mode.
1.If your system is equipped with two monitors, drag the document group onto the second one.
If your system is not equipped with two monitors, reduce the size of the window for your software. To do this, click in the header of your software on this button 
. You can then alter the size of the program window and shift it.
2.Click the button with the hand, located on the top right of the document group's header. While keeping the left mouse button depressed, drag your mouse pointer out of the header of the document group.
3.
The mouse pointer has two modes. The red cross shows you that you cannot drag the document group to the mouse pointer's current position.
3.With the left mouse button depressed, drag the mouse pointer to any position outside your software.
4.A dashed frame shows you where the document group will be moved to if you release the mouse button.
4.Release the left mouse button to confirm the current position of the document group.
5.To dock the document group once again, click on the hand icon again and drag the mouse pointer back to its original position.
6.Alternatively, you can use the Window > Float/Unfloat Document Group command.
