# Two ways to open it
> The floating card over the page, the pill it folds into, the docked side panel, the Open as setting that chooses between them, and the full-page dashboard
Some people want the extension floating over the page they are reading, out of the way of the layout. Others want it docked at the edge, always there, never overlapping. You get to choose, and you can change your mind whenever you like.
This page shows you what each one looks like, how to switch between them, and what the full-page dashboard adds.
## The same tool, opened two ways
Clicking the **eggz Tab Manager** button in your toolbar opens the same thing either of two ways.
A **floating card** appears over the page you are reading. This is what you get out of the box. It sits on top of the page, so nothing on the page moves, reflows or resizes, and you can drag it anywhere and resize it.
A **docked side panel** uses Chrome's own panel at the edge of the window. The page makes room for it, and it stays open as you move from tab to tab.
Both show exactly the same thing: your open tabs, your workspaces, the AI assistant, search and settings.
### Choosing which one the button opens
Open **Settings** (the gear at the top of the card or panel) and the second section is **Open as**:
| Choice | What you get |
| - | - |
| **Floating card over the page** | The card floats on top of the page you are reading, so nothing on the page moves. Drag it anywhere, or resize it. |
| **Docked side panel** | The panel docks to the side of the window and the page makes room for it. It stays open as you move between tabs. |
The change takes effect on your very next click of the toolbar button. There is nothing to reload.
It is not a switch between the two doors. Whichever one is open, the button closes it, and off always wins:
* Side panel open in this window? The button closes it.
* Nothing open? The button opens whichever door **Open as** names.
* On a page that cannot host a card, it opens the panel rather than doing nothing.
A keyboard shortcut goes to the door that is already open, so **⌘K** and **⌘J** land where you are looking rather than opening a second one.
Chrome does not let extensions draw on some pages: its own `chrome://` settings pages, the Web Store, page source, and local files. On those, the button opens the side panel instead, whichever way you have set **Open as**.
## The floating card
Click the button and the card appears at the right-hand edge of the page, roughly the width of a side panel and the full height of the window less a small margin.
Along its top edge, from left to right, you get a grip of dots at the very left, then the eggz logo. Drag the top bar anywhere that is not a button to move the card, exactly like a window's title bar.
Next come **Light / dark mode**, **Open Dashboard** and **Settings** — the same three buttons, in the same order, as the side panel. (If you have switched on the approvals inbox, its button sits at the front of that group.)
At the end sits **Minimise eggheadz**, the **×**, on its own. Move towards it and three more slide out from behind it:
| Button | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Dock to the side** | Side-panel width, full height, against the right edge |
| **Maximise** | Fills the window, less a margin |
| **Move to the side panel** | Retires the card and opens Chrome's docked panel instead, just for now. Your **Open as** setting is unchanged, so the next click of the toolbar button still gives you a card |
Two sizes rather than a fixed list of them, because you can also drag any edge or corner of the card to make it any size you like. Whichever preset you are currently in is highlighted. The card remembers where you put it and what size you made it, separately for each screen size, so a spot you chose on a big external monitor is not imposed on your laptop screen later.
Fold it into the pill
Click the **×**, press **Esc** while you are working in the card, or double-click the eggz logo, and the card folds into a pill in the bottom-right corner. Pushing the card off the left, right or bottom edge of the window does the same.
The conversation keeps going behind the pill. The pill says **Working** while eggheadz works, and how many answers are ready once they arrive. Click it, or press **Enter** on it, and the card comes back as it was, with your cursor in the chat box.
**Esc** goes to whatever you are in first: it closes an open menu or cancels a rename before it folds the card.
**The card stays with you.** Go to a new page or switch to another tab and the card is still there — it belongs to the window, not to the tab, the same way Chrome's own side panel does. One thing does not survive a page change: an AI answer still being written.
Click the toolbar button again to close the card. Closing it means closed — it does not reappear on your next tab switch.
## The docked side panel
This is Chrome's own panel, at the edge of the window. The header carries the same buttons the card does, in the same order:
| Button | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Light / dark mode** | Flips the theme |
| **Open Dashboard** | Opens the full-page dashboard, in a pinned tab so it is always where you left it |
| **Settings** | Everything configurable, in one place. See [Settings](/help/unscrambled-tabs/settings-privacy) |
| **Move to floating card** | Leaves the panel and puts eggz back over the page, at the size you last used |
| **Maximise** | The same, at full-window size. Chrome does not let any extension resize its own side panel, so this hands you to a card rather than pretending otherwise |
If you have switched on the [automation approvals inbox](/help/unscrambled-tabs/ai-and-search#the-approvals-inbox), its button joins the front of that row, with a badge showing how many decisions are waiting.
If the page underneath cannot take a card — Chrome's own pages, the Web Store, PDFs — the panel stays where it is rather than closing into nothing.
Underneath sit three tabs: **Workspaces**, **AI Assistant** and **Search**.
**Workspaces** is home. Your [Open Tabs list](/help/unscrambled-tabs/open-tabs) is at the top, then your workspaces, your folders, and a collapsed **Archived** section at the bottom if you have any. **New** beside the *Workspaces* heading creates a workspace. Hover that heading and a folder icon appears beside it for a new folder.
**AI Assistant** is [the chat](/help/unscrambled-tabs/ai-and-search), and **Search** finds workspaces, open tabs, saved tabs and saved links as you type.
If you have set Open Tabs to **Dedicated tab** in Settings, an **Open Tabs** tab joins the row too.
## The full-page dashboard
Click **Open Dashboard** in the header for the big version: a whole browser tab, for when it is tidy-up time rather than driving time. It shows the same data as the card and panel, and a change in one appears in the other straight away.
### The sidebar, slim or open
The sidebar starts slim, as a narrow column of labelled icons. An **Open sidebar** button sits at the very top, then **Open Tabs** carrying a badge with how many tabs you have open right now, then your pinned workspaces, then an icon per folder. Hover a folder and its workspaces fan out beside it. **New workspace** sits at the foot.
Click **Open sidebar**, or press **⌘B** (**Ctrl+B** on Windows and Linux), and it widens into the full list: **Open Tabs**, your **Active** workspace, a **Pinned** section, every folder with its workspaces, and **Archived** at the bottom, with **New Workspace** still at the foot. Press it again to go back to the slim column.
Archived workspaces never appear on the slim column or its flyouts. They live in the wide sidebar only.
The wide sidebar is where [dragging, reordering and bulk actions](/help/unscrambled-tabs/workspaces#select-several-at-once-bulk-actions) happen.
### The main area
Pick **Open Tabs** and the main area becomes the full [Open Tabs view](/help/unscrambled-tabs/open-tabs). Pick a workspace and you get two panes side by side. **Tabs** holds the workspace's saved tabs, which you can [click, rename, reorder and remove](/help/unscrambled-tabs/workspaces#the-tabs-inside-a-workspace). **Resources** holds its [saved links](/help/unscrambled-tabs/workspaces#resources-saved-links).
Drag the divider between them to resize the split, and the dashboard remembers where you put it. Above the panes you get the workspace's name, a **Search** button (or just press **/**), the theme toggle, and, when you are looking at a workspace this window is not using, a **Switch to this workspace** button.
### The ask bar
Along the bottom of the dashboard sits a slim bar reading **"How can I help you today?"**. Click it, or press **⌘I** (**Ctrl+I** on Windows and Linux), and a row of suggestions comes up with it: *Summarize my open tabs*, *Capture a bill from this page*, *Organize tabs*. Type and press Enter, or tap a suggestion, and the full assistant expands over the page. **Esc** closes the chat, and a second **Esc** tucks the bar back down to a line.
It is the same one chat as the side panel. See [AI assistant & the command bar](/help/unscrambled-tabs/ai-and-search).
## Which should I use?
Most people end up using all three. The card or the panel is for driving: switching, saving and asking, all day. The dashboard is for organising properly. A common rhythm is the dashboard on Monday morning to get the week into workspaces, then the card for the rest of the week to live in them.
