How to Resize Windows 11 Copilot Side Pane
This guide shows you how to change the width of the Copilot panel on your Windows 11 desktop. Microsoft recently introduced Windows 11 build 23493, an AI-powered tool that helps you change settings or ask questions using plain language.
How to resize the side pane in supported applications
If you are using a supported application like Business Central, follow these steps:
- Open your application workspace.
- Locate the side pane interface.
- Move your mouse pointer to the inner edge of the pane.
- Wait for the cursor to change into a double-headed arrow.
- Click and drag the edge to your preferred width.
Why adjust your workspace layout?
Adjusting the side pane helps you see more information without scrolling. It makes your daily tasks faster and more organized.
What happens when you are done?
The application saves your layout settings. The next time you open the workspace, the side pane will stay at the width you set.
Summary
While you cannot resize the Windows 11 desktop Copilot, you can customize side panes in enterprise tools like Dynamics 365. Always check the official Microsoft release plans to see if new features are coming to your specific software version.
Why does the side pane not resize in Windows 11?
The Windows 11 desktop Copilot is a fixed-width system component. It is designed to provide a consistent experience across all devices. Unlike web-based applications or specific enterprise software like Dynamics 365, the OS-level Copilot does not currently support manual drag-to-resize functionality for its interface.
