All about Sidebar Panels

The Sidebar has panels (many of you have also heard it called a "sideshelf" or just a "shelf."

This is because the API for controlling the sidebar panels calls them "shelves," but the official documentation refers to them as panels. A panel can be:

• Maximized
• Minimized to a Title bar
• Minimized to an icon
• Restored
• Hidden
• Opened in a new window

As you can see in the following screenshot, you can open more than one sidebar panel at a time.
