 When you switch to another layout, or exit Ecolego, the window layout is saved. Next time you select the layout it is restored – including minimised and free-floating windows. When you switch to another layout, or exit Ecolego, the window layout is saved.

-For example, assume that you have two windows, where the first window is (vertically) positioned above the other. You want the windows to be laid out (horizontally) next to each other. Move the mouse cursor to the [[Title_bar|title bar]] of the first window. Click the mouse button, and while keeping it pressed, move the mouse cursor to the rightmost area of the other window.

 You can stack windows on top of each other. Each window will then display a “tab” with its name, so that you can choose which one is to be on top. When you move a window, and the mouse cursor is centered in another window, you will see how the outline takes the shape of a window with a “tab” at the bottom. If you release the mouse button, the moved window will be positioned over the target window.

 When a window is minimized, a small button appears on the border of the [[Workbench|workbench]]. When you move the mouse cursor to the button, the window reappears. As long as the mouse cursor remains inside of the window, it will be visible. When the mouse cursor is moved outside of the window, the window is hidden.

 Sometimes it is useful to combine free-floating windows with docked windows.

-Many windows have buttons in their [[Title_bar|title bar]] for creating, editing and removing objects. This is true for all the windows that tabulate data, such as the block window, but for other windows too, like the charts window. In the block window, clicking the {{:New24.png|Create}} button will create an [[Expression|Expression]] block. Selecting a [[Block|Block]] in the table and clicking the {{:Edit24.png|Edit}} button will display the block edit window. Selecting one or more blocks in the table and clicking the {{:Delete24.png|Delete}} button will delete all the selected blocks. +Many windows have buttons in their [[windows#Title_bar|title bar]] for creating, editing and removing objects.
