Codesandbox-client: Hide Activity Bar? (aka "Workspaces")

Would CodeSandbox be open to supporting hiding (or moving the buttons) of the Activity Bar column on the right with the action buttons to achieve additional horizontal space for the rest of the screen?

My use case is that I often have two columns of files next to each other and then also the preview or tests on the right.

A workaround for now is to hide the file explorer, which yields a bit more space.


I've taken the name "Activity Bar" from VS Code, which defines a setting workbench.activityBar.visible to hide it.

I tested this setting but it doesn't work:

In our case I believe we're calling the Activity Bar "Workspaces" and at the moment I don't think it's hooked up to any visibility state you can toggle.

Recently we've been working through a refactor of this particular part of the UI, so perhaps once more progress has been made there we can consider adding support for this.

This issue is stale because it has been open many days with no activity. It will be closed soon unless the stale label is removed or a comment is made.

@Saeris was there ever support added here?

No, this still does not work
