There are many workbenches in CATIA. Each workbench has several toolbars available to suit your requirements and preferences. Depending on your monitor size and display resolution, your screen might not be able to display all the available toolbars. Fortunately, in CATIA you can customize the toolbars.

To restore the original positions of a toolbar, select the Tools tab > Customize > Toolbars (tab) > button, as shown:

). You can detach a toolbar from the application window by dragging its separator to a different location in the screen.

An example image showing double arrows is shown here:
Either the separators or the double arrows can be used to reposition the toolbars on the screen.
