# Can I resize the source code and preview panels, or hide them altogether (and then restore them late

Yes—you can adjust the position of the vertical divider bars to resize these panels.

To hide the file list or preview panes altogether, click on the thin panels at the side of the vertical divider bars. You can restore the file list and preview panels by clicking on the respective arrow buttons again.

To hide the source editor, click on the "Full screen" button above the preview panel, and then on "Split screen" again to restore the side-by-side editor and preview panels.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/knowledge-base/008-can-i-resize-the-source-code-and-preview-panels-or-hide-them-altogether-and-then-restore-them-la.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
