Sidebar

Editor Sidebar

The sidebar contains panels that provide a number of useful tools within the editor.

Information - view information about nodes and their help
Debug - view messages passed to Debug nodes
Configuration Nodes - manage configuration nodes
Context data - view the contents of context

Some nodes contribute their own sidebar panels, such as node-red-dashboard.

The panels are opened by clicking their icon in the header of the sidebar, or by selecting them in the drop-down list shown by clicking the button.

The sidebar can be resized by dragging its edge across the workspace.

If the edge is dragged close to the right-hand edge, the sidebar will be hidden. It can be shown again by selecting the ‘Show sidebar’ option in the View menu, or using the Ctrl/⌘-Space shortcut.
