Description:
Hi, thanks for the great product. 
Usability of the writer would be a greatly enhanced if it was possible to manually shrink the size of the side panel rather than just hide/show it. It is already possible to enlarge it, but there seems to be a fixed minimum size which is still too large when working with two documents next to each other, as I often do.
I would very much appreciate this feature!
Best,
j

And, if you need greater width reduction, edit the Expert Configuration stanza "MinimumWidth" to its 'False' value.  Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Open Expert Configuration  and search for MinimumWidth. Click the 'Edit' button at the bottom to toggle this Boolean. Then OK out.

YMMV, but you can now drag all the SideBar decks narrower than their minimum--until each will collapse the SB.
