Hello Team,

Because the Shapes Panel takes up too much screen real estate, I minimize it.  However, I still need to access the panel while working on a diagram.  Is there a way to configure Lucid Chart so I can hide/minimize the panel but also open/maximize it when I hover over the Shapes icon?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi ​@kcrossley 

The Shapes panel in Lucidchart can be manually minimized and expanded by clicking the icon, but it does not automatically reveal on hover. Currently, there is no built-in feature to show the panel on hover. 

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Thanks ​@Humas1985.  I have opened IDEA: Auto-Hide Primary Toolbar to address the issue.  Hopefully it will make it to the Developers.
