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.

-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.
