Flexible Position

Choose between Auto, Sided, or Bottom chatter position. Each user can set their own preferred layout in Preferences.

Resizable Width

Drag the left edge of the chatter to resize it. Width is saved automatically per user in browser localStorage (300px–800px).

Message Pinning

Pin important messages to keep them at the top. Blue highlight + PINNED badge. Persists across sessions.

Fullscreen Mode

Toggle chatter visibility with one click. Hide chatter for maximum form space, show it again when needed.

Real-time Updates

New tracking messages appear automatically without page reload. MutationObserver detects changes in real-time.

Persistent Settings

All preferences — width, pins, fullscreen state — are saved in localStorage and persist across browser sessions.

Open Preferences

Go to Settings > Users > Preferences tab to find the Chatter Position setting.

Choose Position

Select Auto (default), Sided (right panel), or Bottom for your chatter layout.

Pin Messages

Hover any message > click pin icon > message moves to top with blue highlight.

Enjoy!

All settings auto-saved. Resize, pin, toggle — everything just works across all form views.

Per-User Settings

Each user can independently choose their preferred chatter position. No admin configuration needed — each person picks what works best for them.
