Description
When editing in the CMS, the panel on the right-hand side of the editor takes up a large amount of real estate. It would be useful if we could hide/minimize this area. It would also be useful if there was a way to resize and relocate this region as well, but the hide/minimize option, with the option to restore the region as well, would be great. See screenshot attached.

Thank you!

Research direction
Review the attached screenshot and the CMS editor's right-hand panel to define the smallest supported scope. Confirm whether this request is limited to hiding and restoring the panel or also includes resizing and relocating it; no source files or tests are identified in the issue. Done should include a clear interaction for minimizing and restoring the region.
