When you would want it

A sidebar takes a column from the editor or the conversation for as long as it is open. A floating panel sits over the work only while you need it, goes where you put it, and gives the full width back the moment it closes.

What you get out of it

The editor and the conversation always keep the full width of the window.
Put panels where they suit you - next to the code you are checking, or on the side of the screen you look at.
A panel can never get stuck off-screen: its title bar is always kept reachable, even after the window shrinks.

How to use it, step by step

Open a panel as usual: Changes or Preview in the Vibe sidebar, Project overview from the project card, or Ctrl+I for the assistant in the IDE.
Drag it by its title bar to where you want it.
Resize it from any edge or corner. Double-click the title bar, or press Maximise, to fill the window; do it again to restore.
Press Escape or the close button to hide it. It opens in the same place next time.
Lost one? Run Reset Floating Panel Positions from the command palette to bring every panel back to its default place.

Why this beats the usual way

Sidebars take a fixed column for as long as they are open, and IDEs with many of them leave a narrow strip for the code. Agentfly's panels float over the work only while you need them, go where you put them, and give the space back the moment they close.
