I can get the side pane object using the JS code below, but I would like to know how to collapse a side pane by OOTB method. I know there are /close/ and /hidden/ properties I can use, but this property would get the entire side pane disappear.

let copilotSidePane = Xrm.App.sidePanes.getAllPanes().getAll()[0]

// The close method hides the whole side pane, but I only want to collapse it.

copilotSidePane.close();

Hi,

You can get the HTML element of the side pane button. Then implement the click event by automatically clicking this button with the following code.

Because clicking on the side pane button collapses the side pane.

function onload() {

//get the Copliot button HTML element

var copliot = window.top.document.querySelector("button[aria-label='Copilot']");

//Programmatically trigger the click event.

const evt = new MouseEvent("click", { bubbles: true, cancelable: true });

copliot.dispatchEvent(evt)

}

For more information on this method please refer to the following link.
