224224To hide or show the panel, click **Hide session rail** or **Show session rail** in the session's title bar, or in the bar's **⋮** menu. If you still don't see the panel, [check which Code tab layout you have](#check-which-layout-you-have).

226### Minimize a pane
227
228To keep the Terminal, Browser, or [iOS Simulator](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop-ios-simulator.md) in view at a small size, click **Minimize** in the pane's header. The button requires Claude Desktop v4.0.0 or later and a Claude account rather than a [third-party provider](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/third-party-integrations.md). The Browser pane has it only in local sessions.

230The minimized pane sits in the [session details panel](#see-session-details) while that panel is on screen, and floats in a corner of the chat otherwise:
231
232* **In the panel**: the minimized pane sits below the panel's cards, where you can't move or resize it. To float it over the chat instead, [hide the panel](#hide-or-show-the-session-details-panel).
233* **In a corner of the chat**: hover over the minimized pane to show its header. Drag the header to move it to another corner. To resize it, drag the corner of the minimized pane nearest the center of the chat.
234
235To get the full pane back, click **Expand** in the minimized pane's header. To close the minimized pane instead, click the close button beside **Expand**.
236
226237### Run commands in the terminal
227238
228239The integrated terminal lets you run commands alongside your session without switching to another app. Click **Terminal** in the session's title bar or press **Ctrl+\`** on macOS or Windows. The terminal opens in your session's working directory and shares the same environment as Claude, so commands like `npm test` or `git status` see the same files Claude is editing. To open a second terminal tab, click **+** in the terminal pane header or right-click a folder in the chat to choose **Open in terminal**.
No line in this hunk matches that.
