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.

Microsoft Edge | Other | Windows 10

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.

    The new update on macos Version 119.0.2151.2 (Official build) Dev(arm64) has again messed up things. The beauty is back again. This scenario compels me not to update edge.

    After messing with settings, uninstalling Skype, denying all permissions for skype.com I ventured into searching for other Skype-related Edge settings and found this other one (Entry point for skype in workspace) and just like magic as soon as you turn it on (it's Disabled by default), it fixes the issue for my existing workspace without the need to delete and create a new one!

    I'm having the same issue for a very long time. Why they still haven't fixed this bug yet? Disabling edge://flags/#edge-workspaces-skype doesn't fix this issue.

    After doing that step, delete the workspace and create a new one. The new one won't have the sidebar anymore.
