How can I dock a window? For instance the Project Explorer?

I'm shocked I have to send this simple question to the forum and a sea of engineers to answer, but I have not found such a simple answer, yet.

Right now my Project Explorer window is floating around because I clicked detach at some point, and I cannot figure out how to get it to lock to the left side such that I can look at my code to the right of it, as opposed to constantly move it out of the way to see my code.  (Like a standard development environment would look.)

Please help.  Thank you.

    The link Chester provided is indeed applicable for CCS.

    not quite. and sorry for the delay getting back. I'm looking for the common panel view that shows my project(s) continuously on the left side, while I'm free to look to the right side at whatever file. ...it's the common development setup.  I see it as a default setup, but not in CCS, yet.

    In lieu of answering the question, if you could point at the exact text that I missed in the manual that'd be even better, still, as I find it cumbersome to read manuals online, but I've not found otherwise, yet.  (I'm a hardcopy fan, as it's easy to add personal notes and doodles.)

    The CCS documentation from TI is at Code Composer Studio User's Guide, but that TI User's Guide doesn't explain how docking a window works. This is because docking a window is part of the base functionality of Eclipse which CCS is built upon.

    In the CCS menu used Help -> Search and then entered "Moving and docking views" as the search term. The help contents for this is:

    There a print option on the Eclipse help if you want hard copy.

    I found dragging a detached window to dock it a bit fiddly about restoring the original layout. Instead there is the menu option Window -> Perspective -> Reset Perspective which can reset the perspective to get a detached Project Explorer back to the original layout of being "docked" on the left size.
