Extend panes in a layout

A layout shows panes arranged in vertical columns or horizontal rows. The Extend Pane command enables a source pane fitting the correct criteria to be extended Up/Down/Left/Right into a sibling target pane. In the following examples, Pane 1 is the parent pane.

A pane can be extended based on the following rules:

• A pane that is a row of its parent pane can be extended left or right

  

• A pane that is a column of its parent pane can be extended up or down

  

• A pane adjacent to the border of a layout window cannot be extended outwards beyond the layout's border.

• A pane that is an immediate child of its parent pane cannot be extended

  

• A pane can be extended into its parent pane’s immediate siblings

  

• A pane cannot be extended if the number of panes will exceed the maximum of 50
