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

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. -

It's eating up a lot of space during the design mode especially for smaller screens. While I can use Ctrl-Tab to go into prototype view and hide it, I want to stay in design mode and see my designs in full view for editing.
Is it possible to make it like photoshop where the individual modules are collapsible and draggable out of that area etc?

Agree, this is needed for scenarios where you are presenting artboard especially on Skype where you need to hide chrome and can pan around artboards as the conversation takes you to different places.
This often happens during the part of the process when you are still iterating and haven't made a click through prototype yet. It's more of the phase where you are explaining options to others and showing alternative options.

Absolutely agree! When plugged into a display, the panels (artboards/design on left and settings on right) don't seem to take much space. But when using laptop only, 32.9% of screen width is used for noncollapsible settings.

That's right, designing web layouts on 1366 x 768 display panel requires vertical scrolling currently to view the whole canvas and there are so many laptops with such small resolution.
