The docking rail
The narrow strip of icons down the left edge selects the module shown in the main area. It is grouped in two sections separated by a divider.

#10.1Three rail layouts
The rail can be arranged three ways, and your choice is remembered:
| Layout | How to get there | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| Docked (default) | The pin button, from either other layout. | Fixed 52 px strip at the left edge. |
| Floating | The small pop-out arrow at the top of the rail. | A free-floating panel you can drag anywhere by its grip handle. Click the pin to re-dock. |
| Collapsed | Drag the small grip on the rail’s right edge to the left. | The rail slides off-screen. A thin strip remains at the very edge — hover it and the rail slides back in, taskbar-style. Click the pin inside it to dock permanently. |
