I sometimes wonder if everyone knows how to do something except me. Whenever I encounter a sliding window on an Obsidian publish site, I cannot figure out how to close it.
Someone, please share how to do this. I use Safari as my browser.
I haven’t found an exact answer either. I tried finding a theme with panes and opening in Safari. I couldn’t close a pane exactly but I could change it. If I slide to the left, back to a lower note and click a new link, the second note on top will change. If I have several panes open and click a link in the lowest note, all the notes on top will go away and the link I just clicked with show up instead.
Thank you @Shanna. Hopefully someone has the answer.
I’m pretty certain Publish doesn’t provide an option to close a sliding pane. The only way I know how is to click into the home page or refresh the page from the browser.
I think there was a conversation in Discord about it and the developers confirmed there was no way to manually close a specific sliding pane yet. Maybe they will add. It may be worth creating a feature request for it.
@egfrenzy Thank you for replying.
I am pretty sure this is in consideration for development, but I’ll convert this to a feature request so that it’s noted either way.
An oddity with sliding mode is that “closing” a pane isn’t actually an option with Andy Matuschak’s notes either! Perhaps by design.
The workaround I found is to just hit Alt-left, since that closes the rightmost tab. If I want to close ones on the left, I open the pane that I want to be on the left in a new tab (ctrl-click).
Up Anything new on this?
I just wanted to comment in support of this. I have received feedback from viewers who don’t use Obsidian that this is really distracting for them once they’ve clicked on a certain number of links.
Telling them “Just refresh every so often” doesn’t really seem like an answer.
Agreed! I love browsing digital gardens but the inability to close panes is a… pain.
+1 vote.
Currently Innos Note has implemented this close sliding panes feature
