Section 5 - Add/Remove Applications from the Dock

Another option for customizing the Dock is adding frequently used applications to the dock so that you may access them easily. To add an application icon to the Dock permanently, when you open an application an icon for the program will appear in the Dock, control click over the application icon to reveal the application’s contextual menu and choose Keep in Dock.

To remove an application from the dock, simply click and drag the application’s icon off the Dock. The icon will appear in the Dock only when the application is opened.
