Change DevTools placement (Undock, Dock to bottom, Dock to left)

You can change where DevTools is docked in the browser. By default, Microsoft Edge DevTools is docked to the right of the browser window. You can also dock DevTools to the bottom or left of the window, or undock DevTools to a separate window.

To change where DevTools is placed within the browser window:

  • Click the Customize and control DevTools (Customize and control DevTools icon) menu button, and then in the Dock location section, select a layout option:
    • Undock into separate window (The 'Undock into separate window' icon)
    • Dock to left (The 'Dock to left' icon)
    • Dock to bottom (The 'Dock to bottom' icon)
    • Dock to right (The 'Dock to right' icon)

The Dock location menu in DevTools

Dock to left or Dock to right keeps DevTools side-by-side with your webpage, and is excellent when you Emulate mobile devices (Device Emulation). The Dock to left and Dock to right options work best with high-resolution displays.

Undock DevTools into a separate window

Undock DevTools into its own, separate window, when you want to work with several monitors, or if you need to work on a full-screen app and want a lot of space for the DevTools UI. The following image shows DevTools undocked into its own, dedicated window:

Since DevTools now has its own dedicated window, the page that's being designed now occupies an entire browser window:
