How to hide the inspector panel in the desktop editor

Updated on Dec 02, 2019

If you need more room in the editor, you can always hide the inspector panel that appears on the right side of the editor. This panel is where properties and revision notes are displayed.

You can also use the View > Show/Hide Inspector menu option.

Click the triangle

Click on the triangle to the left of the panel to close the panel.

You will now have more space to edit your article. If you want to reopen the panel simply click the triangle again.
