I am wondering if it is possible to open up the assembly workspace on a second monitor so that i can have  the editing workspace open on the main one. Any help would be appreciated

    You can't have two workspaces open sinultaneously on two monitors; the workspace choice affects all panels on every monitor. You can't have two Program or Source monitor panels running at the same time for example.

    HOWEVER:

    You can make your own custom Workspace that fits two displays and save it. So just take the panels you like from both of those Workspaces and arrange them the way you want them, then just go to Window>Workspace and "Save as new Workspace." I have several custom dual display workspaces, usually with a large Project window on the second display and a full-width Timeline on main display -- that's kind of the best of both worlds (Assembly and Editing).

      Thankyou but where can I find all of the panels-If I take the panels from the assembly workspace and move them to another monitor and then go to the editing workspace so that I can save it as a new workspace the assembly workspace disappears. Also is there any way to do it without undocking the panels as this can get messy.

        You can undock and re-dock. Simply hover with the panel you want to dock on the edge you want to dock it on. You can also add it as a tab by dropping it inthe centre of another panel. You can fin all your panels under the Window menu. You can save new layouts including custom names under Windows - Workspace - Save as new workspace

          You can open new panels on other monitors for certain. I've got three, a 2560x1080 "main" UI monitor, a second one that is 1920x1080 that I use for the Project, Production, and Source monitors in most of my custom workspaces, and a third monitor that I use for Transmit Out to see full-screen always what I'm working on.

           

          The "main" window for Premiere should typically be on the monitor that is your main OS monitor, or it can get cranky. But past that, grab the panels you want on the other monitor and drag them over there, sizing and grouping to your heart's content.
