# How do pages show in a chat?

On the web, a page Bluedeer makes opens in a side panel beside the chat, which you can resize and close. Settings → App & System → Show pages lets you keep pages in the chat instead.

When Bluedeer makes a page (an HTML file, such as a dashboard or a live page), the web app shows it beside the chat: the chat stays on the left, and the page takes the right half of the window.

## The side panel

- **A new page opens by itself.** When a page arrives in the reply Bluedeer is writing, the panel opens with it.
- **The reply shows a small card** with the page's name and **Open**. Click it to show that page in the panel. While a page is in the panel, its card says **Showing**. Pages in a chat you open again stay as cards until you click one.
- **Switch pages** by clicking another page's card. The panel keeps the pages you opened loaded while it's open, so going back to one shows it as you left it, with its data.
- **Resize** by dragging the line between the chat and the panel, or select the line and use the arrow keys. Double-click it to go back to half and half. Your browser remembers the width.
- **The same buttons** as everywhere else are at the top of the panel: **Comment** (to point at a part of the page and ask Bluedeer to change it, see [How do I ask Bluedeer to change part of a page?](comment-on-a-page)), **Share**, **Export** (PDF or HTML), **Permissions** and **Comments** for a live page, and **Open fullscreen**.
- **Close** with the **✕** at the top right of the panel, or press **Escape**. Opening another chat closes the panel too.

A live page reopened from the panel shows what it read at once and checks for changes in the background, so closing and opening it again is quick.

In a narrow window there is no room for both, so pages show inside the reply as before.

## Keep pages in the chat

Open **Settings** → **App & System** and choose under **Show pages**:

- **Side panel** (the default): pages open beside the chat, on the right half of the window.
- **In the chat**: pages show inside the reply that made them, with their buttons and **Open fullscreen**.

This choice is kept by each browser.

## On the phone and tablet

On a phone, a page in a chat is a card that opens the page full screen. On a tablet held wide enough (landscape on most iPads and Android tablets), the page opens in a side panel beside the chat, like on the web: drag the line between them to resize it, use the full screen button in its bar, or close it with **✕**. On a tablet, **Settings** → **App** has **Show pages** under **Appearance**, with the same two choices; in **In the chat**, the card opens the page full screen. Phones don't show it.
