Do you undock?

Hello all,
I'm usually in here seeking help and guidance from Storyline experts far smarter than myself but today I thought I'd ask something a little more light hearted about Storyline 2.
As the title says "Do you undock?" In my opinion, the single best update from Storyline 2 over its predecessor is the ability undock the workspace windows and spread them across multiple monitors.
For me, having everything spread out and available across two screens significantly reduces development time and I'm keen to see if many other Storyline 2 users also take advantage of this feature?
Attached is my preferred layout and feel free to share your screenshots here as well.
Cheers,
Mark

Hi my name's Wendy and I'm an undocker ;-) and I love it!
hahah wow Wendy Farmer has posted in my thread, my life is now complete!
Give us a screenshot Wendy?
:)
That's a bit personal - lol - 'show us ya screenshot'
hahah I guess it is... but thankyou for being brave and sharing ;-)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't undock the notes window either... I haven't found a need for it.
You also must use a lot of layers in your work... or am I just reading far too much into a very personal screenshot? :)
That was today's screenshot - the size of panels changes according to requirements- are you static man - once their set, their set??
Ah I see, Yes I'm very much a static (some may say OCD) kind of guy when it comes to undocking :)
I also think we should start a new support group called U.A (Undockers Anonymous)...
Hi, I'm Mark and I'm an Undocker! : )
Cute thread Mark! I am an undocker, especially for complicated trigger courses. I think we have many 'undockers' because we typically have a few 'how do I get this back' questions where the answer is Re-Dock :) Glad you can have some fun here and find some fellow supporters.
I don't know how I could work with SL on one monitor.
I'm ashamed to admit it since I'm in the minority - but I'm a Docker. I'm constantly moving about and therefore work mostly from my laptop (one screen) and therefore keep it all in the same set up. Granted, I'm also not building the amazing things I've seen you all create - so my focus in a file is for much shorter periods of time. :-)
Ashley - thanks for being an honest 'docker'. I use two 27" monitors at home but because I travel so much I bought a 15"GeChic thin onlap monitor that I can hook up via HDMI cable and power from the laptop with a USB cable so I can continue to undock where ever I be! Ah the freedom it brings....
Ohhhhh a monitor to attach to your laptop...interesting for sure Wendy! I may need to investigate. ;-)
