SharePoint Online Feature: Expand View

Last December, I had blogged about creating a mock up design in SharePoint using the look book. As I was creating a site, associating it to hub site, adding URL and Header in the left-hand navigation, and footer, we noticed the body of the site became smaller in my 13′ inch screen laptop. The header takes almost like one-third of the space. It seems the same also with your left side navigation. Your working area became smaller. If you have a lot of metadata in your list or library, you need to scroll horizontally. If you have volume of data to modify in your list or library, you need to scroll vertically all the way. Your working space take a lot of clutter from your site header, hub site navigation and your left-hand navigation.

CY2019 
It's subtle and powerful, a feature that gives you more visual space to see and dig into data. Were introducing the 
ability to expand lists to fill the screen — to allow you to focus on what you're doing and see more rows and 
columns at once. Click the expand button and see more, do more. One click clears the chrome of left-hand 
navigation and site header.

It’s time to #ClickOutTheClutter. You can now expand the view of your list and libraries by clicking the expand button. This will hide the site header, footer and the left-hand navigation. 

If you are done managing your data, just click the expand button again to view the left-hand navigation and the site header.
