Allow to not open collections sidebar by default #486

Closed oluckyman closed 1 year ago

oluckyman commented 1 year ago

Problem

Every time I open a notebook from a collection, it shows the collection sidebar and has ?collection=... in the URL. The problem is, that I use the left-side white space to expand cells, so when I'm in the creator-mode, the sidebar is on my way and distracts me and I have to close this sidebar every time I open a notebook. What makes it worse is that it does not remember my choice, and after refresh (which happens a lot during the coding) the collections sidebar opens again.

Solution

Keep the collections sidebar closed by default. Or at least update the URL when I close it, so if I refresh the page, the sidebar does not pop up again.

I think it is a great suggestion to update the URL when you close the collections panel.

@oluckyman the URL is now updated when you close the collections sidebar.
