How to Hide the Sidebar (Pinned Notes) in the Notes App?

Hi everyone,


I’m trying to view a single note in the Notes app without the sidebar on the left. I’d like to collapse the section that shows my pinned notes (highlighted in red box), but right now I can only collapse the folder list (highlighted in blue box) using the button circled in pink.


Is there a way to fully hide or collapse the sidebar that shows pinned notes so I can view one note in full screen?


Thanks in advance for any help!
