Hi Carolyn,
Get to know your Apple Watch by trying out the taps swipes, and presses you'll be using most. Here are some helpful navigation tips and features. Let's say your friend sends you a message. To respond right away, raise your wrist to see the notification then scroll to the bottom of the message using the Digital Crown, or by swiping on the screen.
I haven't figured out how to stop it actually moving yet. but have discovered that you can switch it back with the trackpad a lot quicker.
You just put a finger lightly on the trackpad and move the pointer to the bottom of the screen. Hold it there (finger on trackpad) for about half a second, and the dock moves back.
If you are using the keyboard or another mouse, then you may find you have to click on a window or the desktop before performing this miracle. Sometimes you'll do it and it doesn't move, in that case move up about an inch and down again.
Hope that helps!

Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system? Is it using the version required by a product that you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.
If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.
From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.
These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.
If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.
