Dockable panes are special windows that can either be docked in a dock site or included in a tabbed pane. The main difference with a view is that a view is built to display the main application content while a pane provides context relative content to what the view has. When a pane is docked in a tabbed pane, click and drag the tab title to rip it from the tabbed view. Drop the cursor on the docking targets that appear when dragging to dock in a new location. Use the "Pin" menu icon in the title bar of the pane window to auto show / hide the pane when not in use. Use the Main Menu, Map Menu or Panes Toolbar to show or hide the application docking windows.
