Continuing clicks cause the changes to revert to the previous change.

Fig. 1.34 shows the Minimize settings. Any one of these settings leaves
more space in the AutoCAD drawing window in which to construct
drawings. The various settings of the ribbon allow the user discretion as to
how to use the ribbon. When minimized to panel titles or to panel buttons
passing the cursor over the titles or buttons causes the panels to reappear
and allow selection of tools. Also try Undock from the right-click menu.

The Quick View Drawings button

One of the buttons at the right-hand end of the status bar is the Quick
View Drawings button. A click on this button brings miniatures of recent
drawings on screen (Fig. 1.35). This can be of value when wishing to
check back features of recent drawings in relation to the current drawing
on screen.
