Hey SPop - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

I just gave it a go and I was able to adjust the left side pane's width normally.

 

Could you clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser and let me know how it goes?

 

Thanks!

I tried that and also tried using both Chrome and Safari and the left sidebar won't get any wider than an inch or so

    Hey SPop! Can you also test this out via an incognito window? 

     

    If you try to make the sidebar more narrow instead, does that work or it doesn’t move at all?

     

    I’m just trying to check if it’s at its max width already.

      I can make it narrower, it seems the widest I can make it is about 1.25 inches.  But it used to be able to make it wider than that

        Thanks for giving that a go! It sounds like you’ve reached the current max width then.

         

        I’ve passed your feedback and comments over to our team though for them to consider.
