How to Resize the Copilot Side Pane on the Desktop in Windows 11

This article explains how to resize the Copilot side pane on the desktop in Windows 11.

Starting with Windows 11 build 23493, Microsoft rolled out the new Copilot experience that works with Bing Chat AI, allowing users to interact with the chatbot using natural language to change system settings and work across multiple applications.

For computers that have Copilot added, a new Copilot button will appear on the Taskbar. It will appear as a flyout interface when you press the button or use the keyboard shortcut (Windows key + C).

When Copilot is available on your device, you can pin or unpin the side pane, open Copilot when Windows starts, Turn Copilot on or off, enable or disable Copilot using content from Edge, refresh Copilot prompts, and more.

The recent updates to Copilot let you resize the width of the side pane on the desktop.

Resizing the Copilot side pane on the desktop in Windows 11 can help you customize the interface to your liking. Depending on your screen size and personal preferences, you may find the default size too small or too large. By resizing the side pane, you can make reading and interacting with Copilot more comfortable, making your overall Windows 11 experience more enjoyable.
