1 The [[Panels Application>>doc:extensions:Extension.Panels Application]] fills the columns beside the page content with Panels, rectangular zones stacked one above the other. A wiki can show a column on the left, on the right, on both sides, or on neither.

5 Each Panel carries its own title and its own content, so one lists the pages of the wiki as a tree, another the pages you modified most recently, another the applications installed. The content is a wiki page like any other, which is why a Panel can hold anything a page can hold.

9 Which Panels appear, and in which column, is set by an administrator for the whole wiki or for a single page. What you decide for yourself is the shape of the columns: [[resize a Panel column>>doc:documentation.xs.user.panels.resize-column.WebHome]] to trade width between the Panels and the content, or [[hide a Panel column>>doc:documentation.xs.user.panels.hide-column.WebHome]] to give the content the full window. Both choices are stored in your browser and shared by every tab on that machine, so they follow you from page to page but not from one device to the next.
