How to Switch Between Copilot Views in Windows 11

What is Copilot?

Windows 11 Copilot, a smart assistant built into your computer, helps you get things done faster. This helper answers your questions and does tasks for you without leaving Windows. Once Copilot is ready, you can decide how you want to use the Copilot feature, like turning the Copilot feature on or off, or making a shortcut to Copilot on your desktop.

Copilot in Windows 11 offers several controls after you turn it on. You can enable or disable Copilot, set it to launch when Windows starts, pin or unpin the Copilot side panel, resize the Copilot side panel, clear your chat history, or create a desktop shortcut for Copilot.

The newest Copilot app (version 1.24112.123.0 and up) has transitioned from a web-based experience to a native application. This means it works better and faster. When you open Copilot, you’ll find it in your system tray at the bottom of your screen.

What Are Quick View and Full View?

Copilot offers two distinct ways to interact with it:

• Quick View: A small window for fast questions and answers.
• Full View: A larger window with more features and options.

You can switch between these two views. Let’s learn how.

How to Open Copilot Quick View

Quick View is perfect when you need a fast answer without opening a large window. Here are two ways to open it:

Method 1Use Your Keyboard

1. Press Alt + Space on your keyboard.
2. When asked, click the “Keep” button to save this shortcut.

That’s it! Copilot Quick View is now open.

Method 2Use ⚙️ the Settings Menu

1. Open the full view of Copilot.
2. Click the Settings and more button (the 3 dots).
3. Select “Open quick view.”

How to Open Copilot Full View

Full View gives you more space and more options. When you open Copilot the usual way, it appears in full view by default.

If you’re in Quick View and want to switch back to Full View, look for the “Go back to full view” button and click it.
