Option to hide right-hand side panel in contact view

[GWaw]

In beta an option to hide the right-hand side panel in contact view is no more. We can't hide the panel and a lot of my coworkers were using that feature. Why remove it? Please add those arrows back.

Hi @GWaw 

That feature was recently removed - I believe it was based on analysis of user behaviour and it was determined that it was more beneficial overall to ensure all users had this panel open.

agree. need to hide that as well

I do not like the panel on the right at all. Is there no way to hide it?

Literally driving me crazy right now. I don't use any of the tools and it monopolizes a quarter of my screen.

Hi Phil,
While most users may find it handy, there are some of us who find it takes up unnecessary space & isn't useful. 
I'm sure I speak for those of us who don't use it when I say we would appreciate the option to hide the panel. 
Thanks for you consideration.

Agreed! Really need to be able to hide this panel. It's very distracting and frustrating. Takes up way too much space.

likewise, it's really annoying I can't minimize it or close it

[MGazizova]

I also find this panel really anoying and hiding information I need. Hope they can fix it to be hidden or minimized

Not being able to close the sidebar is going to make our sales team move away from hubspot when our contract is up for renewal in a few months. Waiting for the side panel to load is slowing down sending emails and they're not happy about it. Please fix this!!!!!!!
