On screen resolutions below 1365px, the panel opens in overlay mode.
On higher resolutions, it expands in inline mode.
When collapsed, icons remain visible for quick access.
The left-hand widget panel is designed to improve usability, engagement, and content discovery. This panel is fully configurable by admins only through the Admin Portal, ensuring tailored experiences for different user segments.
