Hi.

I am using the latest stable version of Microsoft Edge (Version 116.0.1938.62 (Official build) (64-bit)).
I want to hide/remove the edge sidebar. It doesn't work in Edge Workspace.

I have been facing the error for the last 1 month. I have only encountered the problem in the workspace. When Microsoft Edge launched the Edge Workspace feature, this option worked well. But now, I can't remove or hide the sidebar in the workspace.

try edge://flags/#edge-workspaces-skype-entry-point and choose one of the options "Enabled" or "Enabled Hub chat icon" this adds one icon to the browser toolbar but removes the sidebar. It works for me on Stable and Dev versions

After this issue happening again, this fixed it for me. "Enabled Hub chat icon" is a bit less intrusive.

The old solution in which you needed to delete the workspace etc doesn't work anymore.

    Strange behaviour observed in new macos update Version 120.0.2165.1 (Official build) Dev(arm64)

    Not able to disable sidebar in one workspace, however sidebar is not present in another workspace (However this is the workspace which i re-created after setting skype flag to disabled.) So after every new update do i need to always create a new copy of every workspace? Please fix the issue, no point in recreating new workspace to get rid of sidebar after every update.

    This solution fixed the problem for me. It adds skype icon to the toolbar and hides the side bar. Works like a charm

    not working for the existing workspace in macos Version 119.0.2151.2 (Official build) Dev(arm64). Either the issue has not reached the dev team or it seems they are not concerned about such small issues.
