# Showing and Hiding Panels

Navigation: Working with Nx Witness > Nx Witness User Interface > # Showing and Hiding Panels |

Panels in the user interface can be shown or hidden, individually, or all at once.

Use the ">" arrow buttons at the perimeter of the viewing grid to show or hide individual panel display.

Press F11 to hide all Panels and expand the viewing grid content to maximize the Nx Witness screen. Press F11 again to show all Panels. (Note however that the product window remains maximized).

You can also use Fullscreen Mode to simultaneously hide all four sliding panels and expand display of a single Item to fill the entire layout.

Pinning a Panel

Additionally, the side panels can be pinned or unpinned using the pin icon in the upper right corner of the panel.

•When Pinned, panel display is "sticky". When a panel is shown or hidden, it remains that way until you explicitly use the ">" arrow to change it. A pinned panel will not reopen automatically when the panel is hidden manually (i.e. the pin works to keep the panel hidden as well as open).

•When Unpinned, panel display is hidden. If you hover the cursor over the ">" arrow it will open for a few seconds, but it will only remain open if you click inside it.
