The Main Impress Window

The main Impress window (Figure 2) has three parts: the Slides pane, the Workspace, and the Sidebar. Additionally, several toolbars can be displayed or hidden during the creation of a presentation.

You can remove the Slides pane or the Sidebar from view by clicking the X in the upper-right corner of each pane. You can also show or hide these panes using View → Slide Pane or View → Sidebar or by clicking the Hide/Show markers that have been circled in the middle of the vertical separator lines. Hiding these panes allows you to maximize the Workspace area.
