You cannot manually resize the copilot-on-or-off-in-windows-11/" class="sal-link" rel="noopener" target="_blank" data-sal-id="38877">Windows 11 Copilot side pane using built-in Windows 11 features in its current release.
Copilot in Windows 11, introduced in recent builds like 23493, is an AI assistant designed to help you manage settings and answer questions with natural language prompts.
While some enterprise applications like Dynamics 365 Business Central and Power Apps offer side pane resizing for their integrated AI tools, this specific functionality is not yet available for the general Windows 11 Copilot experience.
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.
