This palette displays the same information as is found in the Catalogs tab of the Find dialog. Each Catalogue currently open is listed on a separate line along with the number of Galleries open in that Catalogue. In the example above, 4 Gallery windows are open based on 3 different Catalogues. The magnifying glass icon which toggles on/off by mouse-click indicates whether that Catalogue will be used in any multi-Catalogue searches. In this example, one Catalogue has been de-selected.

The Windows OS (only) allows palettes to be docked. To do this open 2 or more palettes, click on the title tab of the palette and drag it over the first palette. The result is as seen below (here with 3 docked palettes):
Portfolio doesn't remember the docking state durring an application session (but does save such data at the end of a session). If, during a Portfolio session, you dock 2 palettes and close the palette window both palettes close. Open one of them again and only that one opens (you might have expected the docked 'set'). However, if you open the second (previously docked) palette from the Window menu and the first palette is in the same location as when last closed the second palette 'auto-docks' itself. So the trick is that although you need to open each palette separately, if they open in the same location (e.g. where you last closed them when docked) they will re-dock themsleves. Fiddly, but it works.
Undocumented is the fact that (Windows OS) palettes will 'stick' to the margins of the screen if moved slowly up to any screen edge. The palette will then slide up and down that edge remaining 'docked' via its outer edge. To re-float the palette, drag it quickly away from the screen edge.
