Collapse Property Inspector
Would like to be able to collapse the adjustments panel on the right much like "Collapse to icons" works in Illustrator or Photoshop. That right hand panel covers up so much of the main canvas when working on a smaller resolution screen.
This is somewhat related to the "Hide all panels" feature request: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/12937710-hide-all-panels

It would be nice to have a near-fullscreen view in design mode without going into a preview. The ability to close all menus on the left side of the screen is great, but the inability to close the Property Inspector on the right side of the screen makes it hard to work in a near-fullscreen mode.
In a recent post, an Adobe Employee stated this as a reason for not allowing the PI's closure: "as of now we don't have any shortcut to close the Property inspect (PI) section and as this PI has all the options to help developer or designers or anyone who uses XD, this has been disabled intentionally"
I still believe a shortcut or hotkey with the ability to close this panel would be nice to have. Many times I feel like I can't get a good feel for the entire screen while designing with that panel is open.

6 years after initial feature request. And such a simple one at that.
Please allow your users to collapse the right panel (properties inspector panel).
All of your competitors have this feature.

Yes, could you please add the ability to collapse the Properties Inspector panel, on the right side of the screen, such as with other Adobe apps, like Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign? This would be useful, to free up screen real estate, when in design mode. Thanks, Dave

Please add the ability to collapse the right-hand property panel, as you do with the left-hand panel, and as you do in all other Adobe apps!
Thanks!

Are the developers in lockdown? 4 years since this request was made. It is actually shocking that an obvious feature that was part of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop is not put to effect in XD.

Designers need much cleaner white space while designing. Can't we expand or collapse the right panel by just a single click?

Functions like `F` key in Photoshop is great!

Sketch has "Show/Hide Inspector" & "Show/Hide Layers List" – I cannot figure out how to hide the panel on the right in XD! I primarily work on my laptop and it takes up way too much space when open all the time. Please help! How do you hide that panel??

Need Right inspect panel hide when we used 13inch window screen.
Can we use full screen window like Adobe Photoshop when click F and Tab key? -

It would be nice to have the option to collapse and expand the assets panels on both sides or either have the option to move them to the top or bottom as a menu like other adobe apps. Those panels take up entirely too much working space

When I'm working on just my laptop screen, sometimes I need to reference a screenshot with data as I'm typing into my prototype. Repositioning my Xd window so I can see both windows at once is a pain. Being able to collapse the side panel would help soo much! Thank you!

Menu on the right needs to be retractable like a developer environment

In Laptop work area visibility is very less. 25% screen covered by right tool panel. If there is a Hide & Show button will be more helpful for laptop user.

I see everybody agreeing to that, but how did you guys work around it?
The way I deal with it is using Ctrl/Command + Tab to enter Prototype mode, but it's not ideal yet.
