How to toggle the Work Panel view between Fullscreen and Panel Modes

4 min read

✨ Introduction #

The Work Panel supports two viewing modes—Fullscreen and Panel Mode—so you can either see Spaces, Boards, and Items side by side or focus on a single subpanel for deep work. This article explains what the toggle does, where to find it, and how navigation changes between the two modes.

.

📍 Where to Find the Toggle Icon #

The toggle icon lives in the navigation panel (left sidebar). Hover your cursor over the Work button and a small flyout slides out to the right—this flyout contains the toggle button/icon. Click it anytime to switch between Fullscreen and Panel Mode. This placement keeps the control close to where you enter the Work Panel while avoiding clutter inside the panel itself.

 

.

🎯 Why This Feature Matters #

Choosing the right view at the right time helps you move faster and with fewer mistakes. Here’s how this toggle solves common workflow needs:

  • Stay oriented while planning: Fullscreen shows Spaces, Boards, and Items side by side, so you always see where you are in the hierarchy.
  • Reduce noise while executing: Panel Mode hides the other columns so you can focus on just one subpanel.
  • Switch seamlessly: The same toggle is always accessible from the Work button, so changing views never interrupts your flow.

Together, these improvements let teams plan broadly and execute precisely—without changing tools or losing context.

👤 Who Should Read This #

This guide is designed for anyone who works inside the Work Panel. Typical readers include:

  • Organization Owners & Admins: Structure work across departments.
  • Managers/Leads: Review projects and delegate tasks.
  • Workers: Prefer a distraction-free view while completing assigned items.

If you frequently switch between planning and doing, this feature will help you streamline both.

📝 What This Guide Covers #

By the end of this guide, you will be able to:

  • Locate and use the toggle button/icon from the navigation panel.
  • Understand how Fullscreen and Panel Mode change navigation.
  • Move between Spaces → Boards → Items efficiently in either mode.

These skills ensure you can pick the best view for the task at hand.

📄 Feature Overview #

The view toggle switches the Work Panel between two layouts:

  • Fullscreen: Displays Spaces, Boards, and Items side by side. Selecting a Space populates Boards in the middle column; selecting a Board populates Items in the right column.
  • Panel Mode: Shows only the current subpanel. You navigate deeper by double-clicking (Space → Boards, Board → Items).

The toggle is accessed from the Work button flyout in the left navigation and applies to all three subpanels.

.

💡 Key Benefits #

This feature helps streamline your work in several ways:

  • Context when you need it: Full visibility across the hierarchy while planning.
  • Focus when it matters: A single-panel view that cuts visual noise during execution.
  • Consistent control: One toggle location that works the same every time.

Together, these benefits keep you oriented, reduce misclicks, and speed up everyday navigation.
