Configure Canvas Tool Panels

You can configure the sidebar of the canvas to show and hide tool panels, and persist the panels you work with the most.

Panel settings are per user. Your latest panel settings are retained between sessions in AtScale Design Center. The main canvas and dimension editor canvases have separate panel configurations.
