Description

Describe the bug

In all pages I need to scroll down to see all info, while the right part of the screen is mostly empty. As a personal (non-business) user there are no items to share, so it would be an improvement if the shared items info could be minimized (or disabled) and the other information was spread out over the screen instead of a single column.

Start by reproducing the Contacts app layout on Linux, using the attached screenshot as context. Inspect the page layout and shared-items information for a personal user, then verify that the information is spread across the available screen and that shared-items details can be minimized or disabled without unnecessary scrolling.
