So how do I get them to go back to the original Affinity photo.

View>Dock Tools only works for the tool bar, for me. How do you get Panels, like layers, adjustment, history, etc. to snap to the edge of the window? When I move the AF window, colors, brushes, etc (the top tab-set) move with the window, but all the others are just left floating on the screen. I would like them to snap to the window edge and not overlap vertically. I have no trouble docking and organizing panels/panel sets in Quark, Illustrator or Photoshop but I can't seem to discover how it's done in Affinity.

Thanks,

If they are visible but floating, drag one of them to the edge of the window & hover it there. It is sometimes hard to find the right spot -- I think it is only a few pixels wide -- but when you do a blue rectangle should appear inside the edge of the window that indicates it can be dropped & docked there.

(Designer Version 1.10) Drag the panel to the bottom of the studio area and a purple area lights up, then you can drop it and it will stay in the studio area.
