Hiding and showing panel groups
h e combined assemblages of the let and right module panels are typically referred
to as
panel groups.
To hide a panel group, click its outer edge. Click again to show
it. Or, when a panel group is hidden, you can temporarily show it by hovering
your mouse cursor over the collapsed panel at the outer edge of the window. h is
is called Auto Hide/Show, and can be enabled or disabled. Auto Hide/Show allows
you to temporarily access the panel group to make whatever changes are necessary,
and when you move the cursor away, the panel group is hidden again. Right-click
or Ctrl+click a panel edge to set options for Auto Hide/Show and syncing between
opposite panels.
h e state of hidden and visible panels persist for each module until you change
them.
Show the panels you use; hide the others
I usually work with dif erent panel groups hidden in each module. For example, in
Library, I prefer to keep the right panel hidden and the let panel showing. h is is
because the let panel provides access to i les in Folders and Collections, which I use a
lot. I less frequently use the Library right panel to make metadata edits to i les (mostly
keywords). Conversely, in the Develop module, I usually work with the let panel
hidden and the right panel showing, because the tools I use most ot en are in the right
panel. (I may temporarily auto-show the let panel to apply Develop presets.)
