Lock the workspace in Adobe Express

Is there a way to lock the workspace in Adobe Express? Everytime I click on a part of my design like text, image, design asset - it opens the side menu for that feature which moves the workspace. Its slow to do this and if I have clicked the wrong layer, and go to click the next one the side menu opens during that action and makes me drag the selected layer to another part of the workspace. I know its easy to control Z but its frustrating and would be a much smoother experience if I could select my layer then choose to open the side menu.
