Grid View Problem

Question

I really do not like how the edit panel stays selected and insists on occupying such a large chunk of screen realestate simply to inform me the obvious "The Edit controls are only availavle in Detail and Compare views." Maybe there's a good reason I don't realize but it's happened again and again to me that this dumb prompt is blocking my view that I'm frustrated enough to post here. If that's worth somebody doing a once over about how Grid view and edit view should interact that would be swell.
Sincerly,

Frustrated ❤️ xoxoxo

Hi @aidano75671734, What you’re seeing is expected behavior: in Grid view, the Edit panel can’t be used, so Lightroom shows the message “The Edit controls are only available in Detail and Compare views.” Unfortunately, the panel stays open, which can take up more space than you’d like.

A couple of quick workarounds:

Collapse the Edit panel in Grid view to regain space
Switch to Detail (E) or Compare (C) view when you intend to edit
Press Tab to quickly hide/show side panels

Thank you for your feedback about the interaction between Grid view and the Edit panel! ^CH
