I have one view session where I want to have a different west docked view than the rest. I added the new dock view on the view page configuration, but because the 'shared settings' dock is already there, the new dock won't show. Does anyone know a way to replace a dock on just one view?

> Let’s use an example to describe the expected behaviors: In the “Shared” Page Configurations, let’s say we have a north-oriented Docked View which uses a View named “StaticTop” which is set to “visible”. This Docked View will be used for EVERY Page I configure within the project, and since it is set to “visible” it should be visible immediately. I also have an individual Page Configuration for a page (/demo) where I don’t want “StaticTop” to be used for some reason. I configure a different nor…

Another thing to consider if you are on a recent enough version is if the [Split container](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/components/perspective-components/perspective-container-palette/perspective-split-container) may work, as that has a _Dock View with or w/o Handle_ feel depending on how you set it up. You can also "lock" the split container by setting the draggable prop to false, and setting the position % to the dimensions you want, then set the size to 1. (Though at a certain point you end up making nested containers)

For example if I have a project with a global footer, but I wanted another south dock that gives context to the larger view this approach could work with a Split:
