Resizing the Sidebar

Quicken lets you resize the sidebar to have more room to work on transactions in the register. You can either shrink the sidebar to suit your space requirements or switch to a thin sidebar that gives the maximum space to work with the register.

To resize the sidebar

1. Place your pointer at the divider of the sidebar until you see the resize cursor.

2. Click the mouse button and then move the pointer to the left or right to widen or narrow the sidebar width.

3. As you shrink the sidebar, balances will disappear

4. Grow the sidebar to display the balances again.

To switch to a thin sidebar

1. On your sidebar, click the  icon to shrink the sidebar completely. After you shrink the sidebar, you can click the icons on the sidebar to perform most of the operations that you performed in the expanded sidebar.

2. To go back to the full sidebar, click the  icon.

Did you lose your sidebar?

Sometimes people accidentally collapse/close their sidebar and don't know how to restore it.

If you have collapsed your sidebar, click the icon to expand it again. You can also do this by going to the View menu and selecting Show Sidebar.
