Form View Full Expand Toggle
Add form view enhancements like: - Full screen mode - Full width mode - Chatter hide/show - Chatter side toggle
Highlights

Form View Full Screen
Use the toggle when you're editing long forms or working on wide screens

Chatter Panel Toggle
Instantly hide or show the chatter panel to maximise workspace and focus on form content.
This is the default form view of a purchase order. The chatter panel (right side) displays messages and activities.

You’ll see a circular orange arrow button (▶) added near the top right of the form, next to the “Purchase Order” status. This toggle button is part of the module — it allows you to hide the chatter panel when clicked.

After clicking the toggle button, the chatter panel is hidden, and the form view expands fully.

The toggle button now switches to a left-facing arrow (◀), indicating this is the default form view.
