* Open property box in new window

[SpencerDudeUK]

I realise this is probably something I should know, but on my PC when I 'undock' the Property Box into a new window, the sources show to the right, and are 'docked' to the Individual Property Box. However, this is the first time I've used my laptop, and I can't get the same behaviour. When I undock the Property Box, I don't have the Sources pane. I can open it separately, but there must be a way to tie them together and I can't for the life of me see how...?

Tools>Preferences then the Property Box tab

Thanks for the response... I looked right through those settings, but obviously not closely enough.
Thanks for the help

Another way to get to those Property Box settings is via the Property Box top right cog Menu and choosing Options.
However, those settings cannot force the yellow Sources For pane to be open or closed.
That is governed by the yellow Show Sources button whose state is held in the Windows Registry from session to session.

The way to transfer all Preferences & Customisations from PC to laptop and vice versa is to use the Backup and Restore Family Historian Settings Plugin. That will keep them synchronised with identical settings, including most Windows Registry settings such as the state of the Show Sources button and associated Sources For pane.
