Show or hide all panels

You can decide to show or hide all panels at the same time in the Microsoft Expression Blend workspace. This is helpful if you need more room to work on the artboard. Alternatively, you can Add or remove a panel, or Zoom the artboard in or out.

To show or hide all workspace panels

• Press TAB or F4.

  Note

  If you have an object selected on the artboard when you hide panels, the Properties panel appears in mini mode on the far right, with buttons that will expand to show the corresponding category of properties. For more information, see Properties panel.

  Note

  Using TAB will not work if your cursor is inside an editable text field.
