Floating panel and Side Panel

Pickode can work in a floating panel over the page or in the browser’s Side Panel, next to the page. Pick the one that fits the task: the floating panel keeps everything on the page, the Side Panel keeps the page fully visible while you read long analyses.

The three modes

Mode	What it does	Best for
Floating panel	Pickode opens over the page you’re working on	Inspecting, quick edits, exports; works in every supported browser
Side Panel	Pickode opens in the browser’s Side Panel, beside the page	Reading analyses and lists without covering the page
Auto	Uses the floating panel, and opens analyses and lists in the Side Panel	Getting the best of both without switching by hand

Both panels follow the same interface: dark, light or system theme, English or Italian.

How to use the Side Panel

Auto mode in practice

With Auto, the inspector and the quick tools stay in the floating panel, right where you point. When you open an analysis or a long list, such as the panels for performance, accessibility or WordPress, it goes to the Side Panel, so you can scroll through results while the page stays in view.

Firefox

Firefox doesn’t offer the Side Panel API that Pickode uses (the sidePanel permission isn’t available there). In Firefox everything works in the floating panel, including analyses and lists. The same goes for any browser that doesn’t support the Side Panel.
