A panel is missing or will not dock where you want in Quantower

What is causing it

The panel was closed rather than hidden, it is on a different workspace or a different screen, or the layout has become tangled.

Why this happens

Panels are independent windows arranged by a docking system and remembered by the workspace. If a monitor changes, or the workspace was saved in a different screen arrangement, windows can end up positioned where you cannot reach them.

Opening a new panel is nearly always quicker than recovering a lost one, since the state you care about is the binding rather than the window itself.

The fix, step by step

1. Open a fresh copy of the panel from the platform's panel list rather than hunting for the old one.
2. Check whether the panel is on a second monitor that is currently disconnected, since a window placed off screen will not appear.
3. Bind the new panel to the correct connection and instrument, because a fresh panel will not inherit the old one's settings.
4. If the layout is badly tangled, load a clean workspace and rebuild rather than fighting the docking.
5. Save the workspace once the arrangement is right, so you do not repeat the work.

How to confirm it is fixed

The panel is visible, docked where you want it, bound to the right connection, and survives a restart after you save the workspace.

Stopping it happening again

Save a separate workspace for each monitor arrangement you actually use, such as one for the desk and one for a laptop alone.
