Move your cursor over either the right side, bottom right corner, or the bottom of a pane to display a double-headed arrow. 2. Pull and drag the arrow to re-size the pane as desired. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/87d11426-6b1f-4b19-b593-b71e55a81af3/Images/Documentation/resize_panes.png) > [!NOTE] > **NOTE**: Pane sizes are saved relative to the size of the browser. ## Reorder Panes 1.
