External Monitor Display

I have a MacBook Air High Sierra Version 10.13.3. How do I keep my external monitor on display while the MacBook is closed? Right now the monitor goes dark when I shut the MacBook.

I should say, my company issued 13" Macbook Pro is closed all the time.


It is attached to a CalDigit TS3 Thunderbolt 3 dock, which has a USB keyboard, DisplayPort attached monitor, and a Bluetooth Magic Trackpad. And a ton of external storage attached to the CalDigit for various backups and other bulk storage.


It runs just fine with the lid closed.
