Pages 11 Inspector Control (side panel)

I wish to know how to open a document in Pages without the side panel/Inspector opening. How can I toggle it off so that when I open a document it does not automatically open.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Hi Ugot,


Although it's probably not a bug, this does cry out for a Feature Enhancement request

asking for a user preference setting to prevent the automatic opening,

or for the Inspector panels to default to 'closed' by default, and require a user action (and user need!) to open them, as is the case in previous versions.


You'll find the Provide Pages Feedback menu item in the Pages menu.


Regards,

Barry
